Hmm Orange Romania is not listed on https://monitor.mozilla.org/breaches however if you do a search engine search for Orange Romania breach you would see a lot of sources about the recent data breach.

The strange thing is that after logging in Mozilla Monitor, no breaches appear, although receiving the email about the breach.

But I understand that the source of the information is https://haveibeenpwned.com/

I have checked there and indeed there was such a breach.
