Epik hack exposed data on 15M email addresses.
Quote:
Data breach monitoring service HaveIBeenPwned has now begun sending out alerts to millions of email addresses exposed in the Epik hack. The service's founder, Troy Hunt, is one of the many impacted by the data breach but who "had absolutely nothing to do with Epik."
As right leaning as I am, I actually had nothing to do with Epik and yet my email was notified that it was included in the breach. Apparently there was a WHOIS scrape as part of this. So at some point I had my email in a WHOIS and Epik had it in their records. I'd love to know what address went with it in the WHOIS.
