Frequently when a list of "hacked" accounts is released, our mail-server starts seeing login attempts for non-existent accounts that have just appeared in the new list. So I think that a significant number of the hacked account details in these lists sold on the dark web have been invented to scam the scammers buying the original hacked lists.
