Hello folks,
Someone sent Shaun an email which he sent me yesterday afternoon. The following article from VPN Mentor has no date on it, but this does look legitimate.
It looks like the breach took place between 2019 and 2020, affected at least 30 million people, and data was taken from 2017-2020.
The lists on have I been poned does not show this in their current lists, however, you can in theory type in your email address or phone number on the site to determine whether you are part of any breach which includes this one.
