EDIT: Replies have corrected my misunderstanding, thanks! Troy was saying that his own personal email was also in the dataset.
Hunt says some of his own information is included in the Verifications.io exposure. "The main takeaway for me is that this is just another case where someone has my data, and hundreds of millions of other people’s data, and I’ve absolutely no idea how they got it," Hunt says. "I’d never heard of the company until now and I certainly can’t ever recall consenting to their use of my data. Of course, it’s entirely possible that buried in some other service’s terms and conditions it says they’re allowed to pass my data around in this fashion, but that’s not really consistent with my expectations of how my data should be used.""
