Fascinating article, and really neat user experience. ABC partnered with the company in question to provide a personalized view of what data of yours may have been compromised, and by which source.
Bottom line is some cyber threat actors compile info from multiple data breaches to build profiles of their targets, which may enable them to cause more damage than what a single breach can do. This is called a "mosaic profile", and as your data is compromised in subsequent data breaches, your risk of exposure via this method increases. Not exactly surprising, but it's a helpful reminder on the importance of online privacy and cyber opsec.
