Of course. But are you sure “identified” is correct word here? I chose “breached” because title of mail was “You're one of 15,111,945 people pwned in the Trello data breach”

I think it's reasonable that you chose that title based on the email header, and I also think it's very irresponsible of haveibeenpwned to send out an email with that subject line. They absolutely should know better.

It's a breach. Name and username should not be publically accessible using the email address alone.
