So, like HaveIBeenPwned, but direct from the source?

I think not. More like Shodan for data. HaveIBeenPwned ostensibly helps victims. This show is just upping the ante and moving to open web visibility. What use is blackmailing anyone if you haven't got an entertainments platform to deliver on? They must be extraordinarily confident they are untouchable. If it helps anyone it's as an ironic side effect. Think of this as the NSA but with doors wide open and everything for sale for the lols.

Bingo! Their tagline should be, if you're here, you already know you're screwed.

I can't help but wonder if they're using the inputs for potential phishing attacks.

For certain high-value targets, perhaps they're lying, with the intent of getting them to initiate some sort of compromised password reset?

... A line that is unfortunately already taken by another industry. Though adjusting it to "get pwned" should be alright.
