That would be fair, but frankly as a user that gets the spam - I don't care. The damage to me is pretty much the same.

It would be important to stress it out on the page that it may be due to security negligence/failure rather that just data sale.

As a matter of fact.. they lost or gave away your info. They should reimburse you for that.

I’m working on something I call “datapoint tax”

Make this hoarding of data a (tax) liability. A policy like this will solve most problems.
