Why This Matters
HIBP's expanding government adoption signals growing institutional reliance on centralized breach-monitoring infrastructure for national cybersecurity defense.
Troy Hunt's Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) has onboarded Nepal's National Cyber Security Centre as its 47th government partner, granting the NCSC free access to monitor Nepalese government domains for compromised credentials in HIBP's breach database as of August 3, 2026.
Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), the credential breach monitoring service run by security researcher Troy Hunt, has added Nepal's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) as its 47th government partner. The onboarding, announced August 3, 2026, gives Nepal's NCSC free access to HIBP's government monitoring service, enabling the agency to scan government email domains against HIBP's database of breached accounts.
The HIBP government program is designed to help national cybersecurity teams detect exposed credentials early and improve incident response. By monitoring their domain space, government agencies can identify compromised accounts before attackers exploit them. Nepal joins a growing roster of 47 national governments and cybersecurity agencies that use the service to protect public sector resources and reduce credential-based risk. The service is provided at no cost to qualifying government entities.
