    Good. Unfortunately this is the only way we’ll learn to stop giving vital information, or even truthful information, to any and every site that asks for it.

    I sympathize with those whose data was leaked but I don’t agree that there will ever be sufficient security or protections of privacy.

    It’s an aggregation of previous leaks. Malicious actors having all that information together is a big deal in and of itself, but it’s not the"mother of all breaches" some publications are trying to make it be.

    Nice dataset to automate picking targets. Same username and password combo in multiple breaches, let’s try their bank account.
