Our team has cross-checked several names from the sample list provided. Many are genuine.
It's a six-year-old list, email IDs and even phone numbers might change.
Hilton, like many companies, has a record of denying breaches until it hits on the face. They were fined $700K for an earlier breach mentioned in the report. Under GDPR, the fine would have been $420M

How come you didn't bother to check the list for dupes? You'd have found out that it only contains 755k unique entries, out of which only around 450k are unique users.

That's not how the GDPR works.
