OT: Failed their hCaptcha probably 10-15 times before I gave up and just closed the tab. Hadn't seen it in the wild yet; I'm glad it's not pervasive (yet).
for me Google's captcha is much harder to solve then hCaptcha...
(Easy enough for me to say, I never gave FB my phone number in the first place, I've never logged into FB on my phone, and I'm not in any of these files.)

Could you please tell me how did you convert it to sqlite? I've got a huge 1 GB txt file that crashes my comp every time I try to search for myself there :( Thank you!
Super hacky python script I used to turn the text files into a sqlite database: https://pastebin.com/gBWhCVGz

Honestly sounds like a fun job for future historians. By aggregating all the leaks over a long period, how much of a person can you reconstruct? For example even though I am using a throwaway account, HN's logs might one day get compromised. So now they can join the IP address to other compromised sites that I was logged into using my usual email. And from my email they already have my name, SSN, address, phone numbe…

Were there any leaks of Australian data? I can only see Austria in pastebin (spelling mangled as Austriaia)

Would like to know if non Facebook users are included because Facebook has non Facebook user's phone numbers due to the fact that Whatsapp uploads the entire phonebook to Whatsapp. That means Facebook is likely to know your phone number although you don't use Facebook or Whatsapp.
This is why I don't use my real phone number with apps and HATE apps using phone numbers as a proxy for a user id. Get a virtual phone number if any service requires a phone number from you. Don't submit to this nonsense.
My actual phone number has net negative value. I mostly only get scam texts and phone calls. Everyone I know uses messaging apps and contacts me that way. I can’t believe Apple hasn’t offered a way to white list when your phone rings.
They have. Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers

That's exactly my point. I think I am safe on HN because I'm using a random user name with no email attached. But their logs definitely have my ip address and that ip address will be common across other compromised logs on other sites, some of which I might be logged into with a real email (this is true regardless of incognito mode since it's the same computer).
