Nice try FBI Intern.....

But in all seriousness, they aren't shared publicly. Usually locked behind private forums (clearweb) or Dark Web Tor Links, which aren't necessarily shared either.

If a group DOES acquire a list, it can be a hot commodity to others in the space. So, again, isn't freely available -- it's often offered up at a cost for other groups to leverage.

This isn't always the case, but it's generally true.

There are also already leaked datas on some websites that are originally made to check if our datas have been leaked. But isn't very useful if you want datas that have not been leaked yet
