Many hackers will remove addresses that are obviously unique, including tags, to keep silent which database has been hacked, but it seems inconsistent.

I have checked and known my address was in a hack and it isn't there, while other times it is there. I also wonder if they start filtering out by domain, as they see a domain across multiple databases with unique addresses in each database exactly one time.
