Randy, thanks for this.
The Cybernews personal data leak check shows that my data has been leaked on sites that I have never logged into so have never entered my email or created a password (eg PeopleDataLabs.com). I think that suggests they acquired my info from the other things listed (eg Collection #1), right?

Security experts are referring to the recent discovery of a massive database that is composed of data from thousands of previous breaches, leaks, and private data databases as "The mother of all breaches".
¡°Why should I care? How does it impact me?¡±
The breach includes over 26 billion records. That¡¯s staggering. And that means if any of your accounts are included (or if you reuse passwords anywhere), you need to take action in order to protect yourself and your family.
Who¡¯s impacted? The database includes data from a wide variety of commonly used websites, including:
- Tencent
- Deezer
- Dropbox
- LinkedIn
