The email i use for reputed sites has been breached like 6 times but the email i use for shady sites is still safe
No, this "breach" is nothing new, its just several public breaches glued together.
Most if not all of them are already on HIBP for years.
SEO article.
Lies and disinformation, as usual from media.
There is absolutely no reason to panic, as I said its nothing more than a compilation of public and known breaches. Nothing special.
In the future do not source information on any cybersecurity "events" from mainstream media, they never get it right.

Articles speak that this dataset is "refreshed". ~12TB of goodness for spammers, scammers and other scum for years to come.
It isn't, as I said these articles are full of shit. Nothing will change it terms of spam or scams, because they had this data for a very long time. These articles are on pair in terms of quality with LowEndBox, If not worse.
I would like to see the world burn, but this "breach" won't change anything.

Is this legitimate or just a tactic by Google to make us pay for Google one ? I never had any password like that
Ha, unknown infostealer. How convenient.
In my case it seems real. At least UK shopping records data match. Including my old home address.

By now it's pretty much safe to assume that if one has been using the internet during the last couple years at least address data and likely email are common knowledge. It's just the way it is these days.
According to my experience, Cybernews have most leaks indexed. Next is Google One monitor (but it not seems synchronized to Google Password Manager - even if it shows that some passwords are leaked, Google One scanner don't have it indexed unlike Cybernews). Haveibeenpwned have the smallest database of those three.
Tencent at top - Surprised to see there are more leaks in gaming-related platforms than Twitter.
Lol Myspace still exists
I do enjoy a good combo dump. They’re great to recursively grep yourself through.
I'm starting to get the vibe no one cares about these leaks any more as most people have their data out there. There's nothing you can do any more apart from regular Password changing
"Your personal data was found in the following data leaks...Webhostingtalk.com"
Are there Single Sign-On (SSO) service good to use?
Currently, I see some(ones/services) requiring
BigDaddy apisuch Github/Google without any option to use email for registering their service-
I am using the same gmail since it was invitation only and same phone number since 2000 (the format slightly changed since then but it was pretty far back, much more than 10 years)
My yahoo too, is not leaked anywhere and I have it since the nineties.
Maybe I was lucky, who knows, because i sign up to many cheap hosts, for example.
PS:
AHAHAH, I must be doing something right because I checked the admin account at my old workplace which I left some 9 years ago and:
goatse
You already have my address, thanks
Start using a password manager if you haven't already.

Ha, my 22 years old email:
Your personal data was found in the following data leaks:
I have bolded sites where I definitely not registered my-self. What a hell?
Shocked me as well. I was using haveibeenpwned.com earlier but WHT was not listed there. I wonder when WHT got compromised.
EDIT: Seems like
Oh lucky me, I've only had my data leaked 30 times!
I have this mail from 2003-2004 and i have an account everywhere

2009, its not on HYIBP because its too old and not relevant.
