Ask HN: My full name and address are in a spam email, sent to my iFit mail alias

Sorry for the weirdly worded title, had to cram a lot in there whilst staying below the char limit. My wife and I have been subscribed to the iFit family plan for about three years. I just received an obvious spam message, but the concerning thing is that it was sent to the gmail alias I exclusively use for iFit (myname+ifit.com@gmail.com), and the body contains my full name and address. Luckily, the phone number is not correct. https://ift.tt/RoDQg9Z Am I right to be a little freaked out about this? Or is there a perfectly good explanation? Edit: When I think about it there are quite a few ways this could have happened. - iFit sold my data (unlikely but not unprecedented) - My iFit account was compromised - My Bitwarden account was compromised - My Gmail account was compromised - My computer was compromised? - The data in the spam message was compiled from a few different sources.
