What is the relation between blocking VPN and data breach? why would this be a reasonable response? Is it to prevent mass login attempts using VPNs to mark origin or what?

    I'd imagine knee-jerk reaction when they noticed hacking and just started to blanket ban IP ranges to access their entire infrastructure

My SoundCloud account seems to predate my use of 1password and I didn't seem to migrate it.

Uh oh.

I hope they have a nice GDPR compliant deletion policy and my account is long gone.

    Just checked and my account was created (and last used) in 2013...

    So at least they get some old accounts to become active again :D
