    It is a foot in the door but honestly there are way too many doors out there so it’s really hard to measure the real damage of this.

    I worked at a pretty major employment company like 20 years ago when basically everything was legal and we didn’t need to buy dark web datasets to find real names and contacts ever - most of that data is publicly available and can be captured with simple public scrapers and email checks.

    I think expectation of names and emails being private should be thrown out of the window entirely and every security system should implicitly assume these details are publicly known.
