Sadly databreaches are likely to happen on virtually any site you submit your information to. Companies don't care about security because no one holds them accountable for their failures. Probably especially this site though, because its basically a list of just the biggest suckers in the world.
Companies in EU do care because of GDPR. It's no joke.
Does EU actually enforce that? And if so, how?
Yes. Member states issue fines. The maximum is the higher of €20m or 4% of global annual turnover.
It’s currently a significant part of the Irish economy. They have issued the largest fine to date, €1.2 billion against Meta in 2023.
