I’m unclear how the new data helps anyone? If you identify you’ve been in a data breach with Adobe for instance, you change your Adobe password. But if you’re in this new dataset there’s no service being pointed at - just “you’ve been breached” which doesn’t really help anyone apart from those who have the same pwd for everything. Maybe they’re the audience, I’m unclear.


I agree. I wish it would tell me the password, there is a good chance I could identify the service that it came from based on the password. This way it doesn’t feel that useful.
