Not sure what’s going on but it says my number is not part of the leak, but I’ve checked myself and it is actually leaked. Just be aware that it may not be complete.

Same, for a contact's number (I'm checking on their behalf). It shows up in the raw dump [1] but not this site.
Interesting that Australia seems to be completely missing

Yeah, it's almost like it got merged with Austria, given it says "Austriaia"
Australia anschlussed Austria last week as part of some covid restrictions dodge. Surprised you all didn't hear about it.

maybe this website isn't even legit and just about harvesting phone numbers. I mean - who knows?
I checked someone who was part of the leak and the correct initials came up so unless that is by chance, it does seem to be querying the database. You can also read the source code [1] where it does an api call to get the data.
We can be pretty sure the results are legit but yes of course it could be running malicious code and stealing phone numbers. Check the raw data if you are worried[2].

This could be an incomplete parsing then from the dataset, numbers dont generally follow a standard ruleset or two that makes it harder to parse them out. As well as if this is a collection of breaches, the structure might not be the same across them all.
