Paste Sites

Paste sites, also known as pastebins or pasting sites, are websites that give users the ability to create and share plain text documents through public posts called ‘pastes’. Paste sites are largely used for legitimate purposes, such as sharing and reviewing computer code, but it is also used to share leaked or stolen data. Paste sites allow people to share large text files without a user registration, and as a result are popular with hackers.
