A very old email of mine which I haven’t used in many years was in the breach.
None of my other email addresses were in there, so it’s highly unlikely that I was affected by this malware in the last decade.
That email has been in many other breaches however, so I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody who had access to an old dump was infected.
My money’s on some random skid who downloaded an old database dump and got infected when they downloaded some bad warez.
Either that, or this includes credentials from people who had the malware 15+ years ago.
I don’t think that’s guaranteed to be true.
