That's a use case for aliases, catching if any company or service gives out your email to be abused by advertisers and whatnot. I tried looking for stories but didn't find any, I wonder if you have any to share.

Same, I think. Several years now with over 220 aliases and none sold/stolen that I've caught. That said, some may have ended up in the spam folder without me ever noticing.
