Amazon did this to me. Their recruiters started hounding me at an email address that I only ever used to sign git commits on some repos used on GitHub. When I asked them how they got my email address they said "it was in [our] database

True story; I wanted to make a tiny update to our CI / CD to upload copies of some artifacts to S3. It took 1min for the LLM to remind me of the correct syntax in aws cli to do the upload and the syntax to plug it into our GitHub Actio
