The hacks occurred during a cybersecurity evaluation by AI-security firm Irregular. Irregular, an Israel-based startup that scrutinizes the security of advanced AI systems, was also at the center of some of the recent OpenAI and Anthropic hacks of third-party entities, including OpenAI’s breach of AI software company, Hugging Face.

I built StopReg to address a problem I encountered while testing disposable email detection across different email validation services. One possible explanation for some of the gaps we observed is that email verification services may rely heavily on third-party disposable-domain lists. Maintaining a robust detection system requires continuously researching new disposable email providers and tracking domains as they appear, change, or rotate. New disposable email services and domains appear regularly, and some providers frequently change the domains they use. This can make static or infrequent…
