    The 773 Million Record Collection #1 Data Breach

    Right, so as an example; Let say tenforums is breached, then my mail address and password for tenforums is leaked. That's what this breach is all about? So Collection #1 then may have that mail address and password for tenforums on that list, correct? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to make sense of this before puting on a tin foil hat.
