This is the part the is really missing.
I use user.site@mydomain.com whenever I sign up at random sites. Last night I got a bunch of spams at the just-eat [1] account (food delivery, operating in 13 countries so not a small operation).
Now I know they've been breached, but:
1. They haven't reported it anywhere.
2. I don't know of any meaningful action I can take.

- jbkly7 7y agoYou could submit evidence of the breach to security researcher Troy Hunt at HaveIBeenPwned (https://haveibeenpwned.com/FAQs#SubmitBreach https://haveibeenpwned.com/FAQs#SubmitBreach). He maintains a database of data breaches and people can sign up to be notified if their info appears in a new breach.

The best option is probably "Your personal information concerns": > If ... you’re concerned about how an organisation has handled your information – if the information is wrong, they have lost it or disclosed it to someone else – tell us.
