There is a small silver lining, according to the VX team: “The database DOES NOT contain information from individuals who use data opt-out services. Every person who used some sort of data opt-out service was not present.” So, we guess this is a good lesson in opting out.

This explains why I’ve been getting so many Indian scam calls the last few days.
2 billion social security numbers? What’s the population of the US?
Is this why I got the latest scam email saying I need to pay $4k in bitcoin else a video of me wanking would be leaked.
Is there a simple way to find out if your Information was in this leak, and what information it is? I use haveibeenpwned for leaks linked to my email address, but from I read in this article, it’s not linked to my email address.
So how do I found out if my data was leaked without paying for a credit monitoring service?
