Don't forget Equifax, assuming you are in the USA
Strangely enough, that data doesn't seem to have surfaced anywhere. There's a decent chance it was stolen by a nation-state actor using it for espionage.
Don't forget the OPM hack in 2014, also assuming you're in the USA and received a military/government background check.
I mentioned T-Mobile because I had gotten notification from AAA/ProtectMyID service that I was signed up for free after one of their breaches, that my information from the T-Mobile incident what was on the dark web. The scan service specifically mentioned T-Mobile.
But yeah you're right, I knew also that Equifax had problems as well.
