you will get one of those mails “we are sorry, haha - best we can do is 1 year of identity protection on us” (but you have to give that id protection company all of your identity data), followed by another mail 6 months later - “legal notice for class action lawsuit” (where you get 10 dollars for signing off all your suing rights and lawyers pocket most the shit).
Ooo this is the same situation I am in, love that nobody with the power to act actually cares about putting measures in place to hold people accountable. So now pretty much all my important data is out there forever and I can’t do shit about.
I was able to change my SSN but it was a process to say the least. The federal government leaked my info and the info of 21.5 million other military members and government employees in 2015. Combined with everything else that’s out there from other data breaches it was basically the only thing I could do that didn’t involve changing my name or buying a new Identity.
I keep making the joke that we should just sell our data directly to the dark web sites that sell these data dumps. At least then we’d be able to cut out the middleman and profit off of our own data. And every single time a major leak like this happens, it becomes a little less of a joke.
My data is in this breach.
Thankfully, it’s all been exposed already by several prior banking data breeches over the last 5 or so years.
Yay?

I honestly think this attitude is the goal. They want people to stop caring
