I now have access to about 3,000 unique emails from the BitMEX leak.

- from what I can tell, there is more than 30,000 unique emails in total
- 67% emails (from my sample size) use gmail, 7% hotmail, 4% yahoo, 3% protonmail
I'd say more than 50% of emails are trivially easy to doxx. Surprisingly high amount of people use a combination of first.lastname or they use a domain of a company that has less than 5 employees. Don't do this...
There is already a 30k email dump selling on darknet. For any user that was involved in this leak, get ready for constant phishing attempts and emails from competitors. Be careful
What's perhaps the most ridiculous is that BitMEX is currently requiring users to complete an ID verification in order to change their email address. No idea why. I'd recommend just burning that account and starting a new one with a burner email.
How ridiculous is this?
.@TheCrypt0Mask already found nearly 200 passwords of leaked BitMEX accounts today. This is such a disaster

As if it was not enough, @BitMEXdotcom twitter account was also briefly compromised...
This happened a little over 10 minutes ago and was quickly deleted

Hacked: archive.md/HRoDJ

The plot thickens
