Your missing the point. These breached emails are not just from cloud storage. They are from email accounts. Avoiding cloud storage gives you zero protection from your data being in this breach. The article is just saying the whoever gathered this data recently shared it with cloud storage.

Your comment is like hearing a stolen car was found on a beach and replying, “That is why I never go to beaches.”

I think you missed my point. Having many more points where my data is stored increases exposure to a breach. I avoid every account at a store, online or on a physical stores computer unless I really need to. I avoid giving email addresses just to get 10% off a bill. I am not on Face Book etc. A reduced footprint. Cloud banks are targets.

Many years ago I had a hack related to comments to FR.

I have had a car broken into at the beach. I still go to the beach and FR.
