See your identity pieced together from stolen data

quote [ "Companies are trying to use the sheer scale and profitability of their shady data practices to shield them from the law."

And with Experian disclosing a breach in 2015 and then another in 2020, it's clear these firms are attractive targets for cybercrime.

In fact, one of the largest breaches collated by Have I Been Pwned has also been traced back to a "likely" customer of data-enrichment company People Data Labs. ]

HaveIBeenPwned.com is around for a while now. I didn't know that most of the breaches orginated at data vendors, though.
