I read about a website where you can enter an email to see if it appears on any website, plus where it was taken from. Around 3 billion emails are supposedly in their combined database.
I ran three emails so far and my spam email got hit hard. I changed the password last week fortunately. Of the twelve things they could get, they got password and name too from bitly. I’ve never been there or several others listed.

Only the email address is needed.
And yes, I’m dumping the email above for a new one. 99% is spam so I’ll filter the good ones and notify them. I changed password but I get too many spams.
