The I've been pwned website tells you where it was stolen from. :D

Does it ? I see details of lists the e-mail address was found in. Which I suppose don't necessarily include source information ?

It should say who the data was taken from.

For example my email was disclosed by a breach of LinkedIn, the business/professional social networking site, in May 2026. The heist took place in 2013 with the data being seen for sale in 2016.
