Plenty of sources exist for those email addresses. Since the lady incharge of computer security for Equifax (and later for all Equifax security) was only a music major, then the Chinese easily collected information about all of us - including any email addresses that Equifax possessed. They had free and undetected access for months - if not a year.

Equifax promised protection for something less than a year. That was in 2017. You are still exposed - and they have no obligation to protect you.

Since George Jr's administration were only interested in a political agenda, then security on the government payroll database was unnecessary. Since that had no military value - according to those extremists. Chinese collected the name, social security numbers, salaries, security clearances, addresses (current and past), job title, etc of every employee (and spy) paid by the US government. A few years later, all American spies in China disappeared.

Email addresses can be obtained from so many sources. We know this. Somebody just broke into and stole data from Facebook. Since Facebook's reputation for security is pathetic. How much, what, and how long? This is Zuckerberg. His objective is only profits. So he is not about to be sufficiently honest. Even that could be the source of e-mail address theft.
