"What was their motivation behind this leak? Always curious why these hackers do what they do"

Lawrence Abrams is exactly right. Go look back at the screenshot of the forum post by Fenice. Notice at the bottom how it says "Ps. There is a new player in town", thats what someone would do when they're trying to build a new reputation, so future leaks for sale will have credibility.

I don't think you understood my question...

I was asking if my SIN number would be in the leak? Like, if my name and address was in the leak, would the SSN field have my SIN because I'm in Canada, or would it just ne blank?

If they only captured SSNs, then this is a lot less worrying for Canadians.
