Big market, check. Validated demand, check. Product or service exists, uh-oh. I set out to build a reverse address book. Instead of updating your address book with changes from everyone else, you update your own details and it pushes to everyone else. Turns out someone beat me to it and my inspiration evaporated. Zoom is a recent and great example of competing in a crowded market and winning. For you builders/founders out there, are you on a never ending quest to find something new/unique or do you prefer another quality in your idea to start a project?

Docker Hub Hacked – 190k accounts, GitHub tokens revoked, Builds disabled
474 by lugg | 87 comments on Hacker News.
Received this email a few minutes ago: "On Thursday, April 25th, 2019, we discovered unauthorized access to a single Hub database storing a subset of non-financial user data. Upon discovery, we acted quickly to intervene and secure the site. We want to update you on what we've learned from our ongoing investigation, including which Hub accounts are impacted, and what actions users should take. Here is what we’ve learned: During a brief period of unauthorized access to a Docker Hub database, sensitive data from approximately 190,000 accounts may have been exposed (less than 5% of Hub users). Data includes usernames and hashed passwords for a small percentage of these users, as well as Github and Bitbucket tokens for Docker autobuilds. Actions to Take: - We are asking users to change their password on Docker Hub and any other accounts that shared this password. - For users with autobuilds that may have been impacted, we have revoked GitHub tokens and access keys, and ask that you reconnect to your repositories and check security logs to see if any unexpected actions have taken place. - You may view security actions on your GitHub or BitBucket accounts to see if any unexpected access has occurred over the past 24 hours -see http://bit.ly/2V1kwFO and http://bit.ly/2GCGt43 - This may affect your ongoing builds from our Automated build service. You may need to unlink and then relink your Github and Bitbucket source provider as described in https://dockr.ly/2UXNvKQ We are enhancing our overall security processes and reviewing our policies. Additional monitoring tools are now in place. Our investigation is still ongoing, and we will share more information as it becomes available. Thank you, Kent Lamb Director of Docker Support info@docker.com"
