I think this is the really interesting legitimacy vacuum that hacks like this place us into. The official source on this is silent and may stay silent for a long time. People who wait for an official, safe answer may need to wait a long time. On the other hand, the illicit nature of the data makes it legally questionable for other organizations to step into the role of notifier. So why enter your info on a random site? Because it may be the lowest (definitely not zero) risk way to check if your info is in the leak. If you wait or you build your own thing you may risk less, but balancing the risk with the certainty of obtaining an answer requires a real level of expertise. Does seem like an easy way to collect phone numbers.
