There is a strange dynamic between the threat actors who conduct these breaches and researchers.

When not used for extortion and for "status" in the hacking community, they share them with researchers (commonly HIBP) to warn people about a site's security and so that site is forced to fix things.

Definitely a strange dynamic.
