HaveIBeenPwned Response Integration via API

Purpose

This guide explains how to configure the Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) Response integration in Logsign USO, so that an analyst (or an action rule) can look up details of a named data breach, list breaches affecting a domain, and list breaches for a specific email account directly from a Logsign Incident. This is a read-only lookup integration; it does not block or change state anywhere.

Prerequisites

  • A Have I Been Pwned API key (a paid subscription; HIBP's account-search API is not free).

Step 1: Obtain Your HIBP API Key

  1. Subscribe to the HIBP API at haveibeenpwned.com/API/Key.
  2. Copy your API key once issued.

Step 2: Configure the Integration in Logsign USO

In Logsign USO, go to Settings > Integrations > Responses, search for HaveIBeenPwned, click Configure then +Device, and fill in:

FieldRequiredDescription
Device NameYesFree-text label identifying this HIBP device in Logsign.
HostYesHIBP API host (typically the standard haveibeenpwned.com API address).
Api KeyYesYour HIBP API key from Step 1. Stored encrypted at rest.
Insecure Skip VerifyYesDisables TLS certificate validation on Logsign's outbound calls when enabled. Defaults to on; leave off unless you have a specific reason to keep it enabled.

Click Create to save the device.

Available Methods

  • getting_a_single_breached_site — fetches details of one named breach. Arg: name (required).
  • getting_all_breached_sites_in_the_system — lists all breaches recorded for a domain. Arg: domain (required).
  • getting_all_breaches_for_an_account — lists breaches associated with a specific email/account. Arg: account (required).

Troubleshooting

SymptomLikely causeWhat to check
401 UnauthorizedWrong or expired Api Key.Re-enter the Api Key exactly as issued, and confirm your HIBP subscription is active.
429 Too Many RequestsHIBP enforces a strict rate limit (typically one request per a fixed interval) per API key.Reduce the frequency of automated lookups, especially for getting_all_breaches_for_an_account, which is the most rate-limited endpoint.

Notes and Limits

  • This integration is read-only lookup; it never blocks or changes state anywhere. Consider privacy implications before wiring account-breach lookups into automated correlation rules that run against real user email addresses at scale.
