Whether the data is with Reddit or the hackers, what difference does it make lol

Yep, kinda hard to give a fuck. I wonder though if anyone has used Reddit's private message and other features for messages they wouldn't want to be public.

And using an email address in any service, everyone should know by now there's a good chance they leak at some point.

Or using phone numbers for 2FA... Reddit will deinitely make money off your user data, but there's a world of difference between that and criminal scum like this.
