Just got an email today from the same site that I am in the leaked myspace dataset. Is this a new dataset or else why are they notifying me only today?

The dataset was hacked years ago but only recently the data from that hack was openly available for sale which poses a significantly higher risk.

The dataset was just leaked yesterday or something. The data in the leak is from around 2008 I believe though.
