Emails, or email addresses? …

Email addresses, obviously.

I mean it's accurate, but I definitely wouldn't call it obvious due to poor writing.

> Hacker Leaks 3.3 Billion Emails and Yes Every Single One Is Unique

Okay, so emails?

> A staggering 3.3 billion unique emails were leaked in an underground forum.

Still points to emails?

> Imagine waking up to find your email address among the 3.3 billion unique addresses floating around the dark reaches of the internet.

Ah, email addresses actually!

He didn’t leak them, he just collected whatever is circulating around, cleaned it (with a regex expression used by Troy Hunt of HaveIBeenPwned) and then distributed. The post is not clear, but from the screenshot of BreachForums it seems to be email AND password, not just emails.

1. Email addresses, not emails. 2. It’s just cleaning data from prior leaks. It doesn’t seem like anything new has been leaked? 3. Do people consider their email address all that private? I list most of mine publicly.

they are email address/password pairs.
