    Finding your email address in data breaches is more likely due to its use to sign-up to online services that have in turn been breached. A trusted site to see if an email address appears in breach data is Have I Been Pwned: Check if your email has been compromised in a data breach

    MTA-STS is relatively new so you will need to wait for a forum team to respond — hopefully they have plan to setup.
