History
editDaniweb was founded in 2002 by Dani Wolkowicki (née Horowitz). Daniweb business networking tool is based on Wolkowicki's algorithm which matches social network users based on their chat behavior.[3]
In 2007, Daniweb community administrator Davey Winder broke the story that TomTom GPS devices came from a factory infected with a virus. A number of news outlets picked up the story and ultimately forced TomTom to admit the faux pas.[4]
In 2008, Google awarded Daniweb with its Enterprise Superstar award.[5]
In 2015, internet security service Have I Been Pwned? reported that Daniweb suffered a data breach that resulted in the disclosure of over 1 million accounts including email and IP addresses.[6][7]
