Given that other members on here have been affected who signed up many years after I did, it is impossible that the email address was harvested at the time of sign up or at my end.
This only possible source for this breach in my case is your database.
I have never signed up to SAU, who appear to also have been breached. If I did sign up to them I would have received 2x spam, one to fordforums_com_au@ and one to sau_com_au@ (or similar convention depending on the time that I signed up to them, which I never did)
