It can be proven, very easily. All it takes is a little bit of IT skills and a basic understanding of networking. There are also immense amounts of incentive to prove it. Your information would be spread across every news network, and you’d be able to use it to sue any business that does it.
So, the only reason it can’t be proven is because it’s not happening.
The odds are good that whenever you (or anyone) read this comment, there’s a verified data breach that hit the news this week and isn’t getting any serious national coverage, or any television coverage at all. Even odds are that it’s actually from today, regardless of when someone reads this.
I don’t know what your pocketbooks look like, but I don’t have the finances to hold any of these companies accountable.
I do have a half-dozen different legal settlements worth of (3 years each of) identity fraud protection service offers.
Edit: Oh, you maybe mean specifically if a voice recording was leaked. If so, you’re right, that would be huge news.
My legal recourse would remain exactly what it currently is, though. Three more years of low quality identify theft insurance.
Data breaches are already commonplace, though. People don’t really care about that, so news outlets don’t care to cover it.
This is vastly different and would be a new thing that everyone would be interested in hearing about. So many people think that this is happening, but have no proof. They would love to be able to say “See! There’s finally proof! I told everyone!”

Oh, I wish that were so.
Any data breaches in the news, today? Of course there is..
