Looked up my domain, it seems to be old data breaches. I have been using unique email aliases for all websites for at least 5 years and the emails there predate

  Well, you could have registered a long time ago on the breached websites but the breaches could still be very recent, couldn't they? Or are you saying that you registered multiple times on the same website and the leak only contains the old registrations?

    They are saying that all of the leaked data has been leaked in the past in other breaches. And because every account has a unique address, this suggests that it doesn't contain newly leaked information.

      Not true. 65% of email addresses already existed in the haveibeenpwned database, and 35% are new.

    It could have been breached recently that's true. But not for a website I currently use. I switched off those old emails and I am currently only using aliases (I know it's not very helpful without a list of websites I use). The other thing I do is that I monitor failed smtp connection attempts to my mail server, particularly when they use one of these unique email aliases. That gives me advanced notice that the website has been breached, and I have quite a few that are not on HIBP's radar.

  It's not just old breaches. I do similar things, and got anew address reported. Unfortunately, the new address is one I actually use for a bunch of things, so now I have to go through the site lists. Edit: I looked through email at the services I signed up for with this address, and searched though the list; I'm fairly sure it's the account for a local game club :(
