Ah, not a breech of proton passwords, but just that proton is monitoring the dark web for general other beeches

clickbait phrasing

Worst headline ever, probably intentionally

Also there's a paragraph describing the protonvpn logo that doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the text, which makes me think the article is AI generated and no one noticed the error.

For those not reading the article it’s about Proton’s new Data Breach Observatory Initiative. They actively monitor forums and notify companies when someone posts about credentials or other information. It mentions that often only the biggest attacks get reported but they want to help make it easier to see those that may not get announced.

Further down there’s a list of 10 recent breaches with company names, quantity of records found and the kind of data. There’s nothing pointing to them trying to sell or offer anything but information they’ve found.
