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?

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.

Yay…

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).

It's okay. It's like how they used piracy to train Ai.

This is the same thing except they are getting your data for the Ai tracking and surveillance system.
