The one approach that has never failed is to use a fake identity when signing up for online services. It is a violation of TOS but not a crime to do so. Only give your real information to the government. If companyX requires hard information but cannot protect this PII, then they don't deserve real data.
Relevant name.
How would you get around this verification though? Afaik this is nearly akin to KYC which is effective impossible to get around
The problem is that the government has these leaks too.
sure, but your reducing the likelihood of your real data getting out there if it's only stored in one place, rather than hundreds.
