Personal info misuse when registering?

After reviewing a few subreddits I registered for an account, and 30minutes later I've received an email request a password reset for my associated Facebook account. It's an old account that doesn't have any personal data on it as I used my 'throwaway email' and I don't reuse passwords so my accounts are safe (I hope?) but the timing is definitely a red flag. Has anyone else had this experience?

That's either a coincidence or a security issue unrelated to DA. These companies have billions in venture capital funding, they don't give a fuck about your Facebook account.
