HIBP acronym with no context #34

What's the problem?

In the book, there are segments where "Have I been Pwned" is used and at other times "HIBP". There doesn't appear to be a point where the text puts the two parts together such as "Have I been Pwned (HIBP)" which would help people realise this is what the acronym relates to.

My inclination is to leave this as is. The context of HIBP is outlined pretty clearly in the intro and historically, I've oscillated between acronyms, full name and a combination of the 2. I don't think anyone is coming away confused by any of those combinations.
