Why Some Leaks Don't Have a Domain
Not all leaked data incidents occur on specific domains or websites. Some leaked data may originate from various sources and may not always be linked to a particular website.
At times, data may be stolen or leaked from third-party service providers, vendors, or partners who handle sensitive information on behalf of organizations. In such cases, the leaked data may not be directly associated with a specific website or domain.
