The blog seems to indicate that this list appears to be made up of previously leaked/available lists that were already out in the wild.

It indicated LinkedIn as one of the likely sources.

I know an email address that appears in this leak but not in any other leak that hibp knows about. That might invalidate that hypothesis (or alternatively hibp's dataset might not be as complete as it could be).

The spam list is 711M emails. The post indicates that it's made up of several existing datasets combined together.

I wasn't implying this was just LinkedIn data, apologies if my tl;dr of the article wasn't clear.

You should just read the blog post.

hipb dataset is rather lacking.
