Ask HN: Website with My Email and Phone Was Hacked. Any Way to Find Out Which?

1 pointsby bespokedeveloprabout 1 year ago
For about the last week I suddenly started getting bombarded with scam calls and emails. Pretty good sign that my info was recently leaked&#x2F; stolen from some website that has not yet disclosed.<p>I checked https:&#x2F;&#x2F;haveibeenpwned.com but nothing new shows up. My phone number is only 2 years old so I know it isn’t from the previous incidents (looking at you hardware wallet Ledger!).<p>Today I got another scam email but this time they were so sloppy they sent the email with everyone listed. So I browsed through the emails and a lot of them are tech related and some of the people I looked up work in tech.<p>I typically put in a fake phone number into websites for online orders for this purpose and only give out my phone to websites that actually need it which makes this more worrying to me.<p>Any way of tracking this down, or should I not bother and just bite the bullet and do another phone number change?
