         | Am I a part of this?
         | 
         | If this is a collection of stealer logs, no, but if it is
         | Google & Facebook that have been hacked / had data leaked, then
         | yes.
         | 
         | So far I've not heard anything from either, so I'm gonna assume
         | that it didn't happen through those services until I hear
         | otherwise.

         | saying they're deliberately leaking user passwords to 3rd
         | parties?

       | Now these AI agents are going to use this to get to know about us
       | humans even more.
