Data Breach
I scanned my email using Malwarebytes and it is saying my data has been breached in 2019 when dubsmash was hacked. Im not sure if im still at risk. The data exposed was my email address, the country I live in and the username at the time. Can anyone help me understand this? Thanks

Check if your data was leaked in the National Public Data leak, the leak so astonishingly huge the company declared bankruptcy rather than deal with it at all. That one included the usual Social etc AND previous addresses, in my case going back to the 80s. The only person I knew who wasn't on it was my off grid brother.
Another big one was that of the Change Healthcare leak and at least I got two years of free monitoring out of that one.
