Have I been Pwned - BTC-E notification but old news

[DoctorG]

Hey all,
Hope life is treating you well!
Ive just had a notification from HAVEIBEENPWNED saying my data was one of those in the BTC-E dataleak.
Seems strange to get this 3 years on, it is old news.
Anyone any ideas why Im getting this notification now?
Im not concerned about the account, Im not stupid enough to leave anything in the exchanges.
Seems a little late to notify anyone (3 years?), has something else materialised about the data breach that anyone knows of?
All the best,
G

It's possible that he's a white/grey hat doing his good deed for the day...warning the poor suckers to change their passwords.

Perhaps the database was recently made readily available, via purchase or online dump?

Time will tell.

It is better if you check your account so you will know what is happening to it. But do not click the link from the email since it could be just a hack link to access your email so they can invade your account. Use google to open you account and find out what has happened since possibly you may have left something in your account. Theres nothing to lose if you check it out.

To play safe, I think you should just ignore this late notice, especially when you are not really using the account anymore.

However, if you are using the same password for other sites/email account perhaps just to change it just in case?
