This has literally never happened to me... is your email address "go@away.com" or something?

I also checked my throwaway gmail and it was included in a French Citizen leak [1]. I'm neither French, nor do I have any other connection to France. Not sure why my email would be included there, except for some random using my email (or misspelling theirs) – it's [5-7 letter english word][number] at gmail.

First initial last name at gMail is one.
