this is my mosint-config.json file
{ "Breachdirectory": "<API key>", "Hunter": "<API key>", "Emailrep": "", "Intelx": "<API key>", "Psbdmp": "True" }

I have also noticed it is does not seem to be using any of my config. Any help would be appreciated. I have also noticed it is does not seem to be using any of my config. Cheers

Bugs have been fixed in the new version (v3.0.0). Ensure the config file is configured correctly for Mosint to work properly.
