Yeah, it's crazy that even things like my fingerprints are out there somewhere.

I've sorta lost track of what's happening, but the credit monitoring thing they're offering has been really good, and seems to be extended indefinitely.

Bizarrely it's given me some peace of mind; no matter what other breaches I'm part of, it can't get worse.

It's funny you say it gives peace of mind. I had this exact conversation not long ago with some former co-workers. It's a sort of forced acceptance that you can't change something. In some ways it's desensitized me to disclosures of breaches and the constant notices I receive in email etc.

Who knows what the ultimate impact is long term, but whatever it is, there's no hiding from it.
