When is a breach a breach? If it's been breached then re-breached, is the second incident still a breach? Here's what the masses said when I asked if they'd want to know when something like this happened to their data:
If you're in a breach and your data is aggregated by a third party, then *they* have a breach that discloses your data (again), would you want to know? Should this constitute a notifiable breach?

And what if that second incident wasn't a breach per se, but rather a legitimate service being abused to locate where the re-breached data was? That seems to be the situation with SOCRadar, but regardless of the precise mechanics, there's now another 282M breached records in HIBP. Full story in this week's video:
