Kind of off topic, but doesn't github and other big companies use a services that automatically emails the owner and/or resets their password when their account information shows up on pastebin?

So why are the accounts still up?

I received emails from https://rbnhd.com/ & https://changepassword.nu/ and found those emails on my spam folder (gmail). The emails were saying that my password was leaked. I never subscribed on any of the above services.
I didn't know such service existed. Sounds interesting.

Is there a service monitoring pastebin etc. for an individual's email account?

havent tried it myself: https://haveibeenpwned.com
