It would take more personal information for me to really care (private messages, emails, social network interactions).
Unless there are lawsuits most people will forget about this breach in a week.
My favorite is when a credit bureau like Experian leaks your info and offers free monitoring as compensation - but you have to give them your info again to get the free monitoring.
They also continuously spam your email, but they’re easy enough to block.

In my case my partner (Abby) made a new friend (Brandy). Brandy called me a few times while we were coordinating social activities. Brandy’s soon-to-be ex-husband (Malicious Michael) saw the late-night phone calls on the phone bill records, looked up my phone number, saw that I was a man, assumed she started dating me, and became completely obsessed with me.
Now I get about 30 texts and 12 emails from Mike every day, all of them very deranged and alarming. I have never met, interacted, talked with, responded to, or crossed paths with Mike.
But suddenly I have to worry about how even these relatively benign leaks might impact his ability to find me or attempt to fuck up my life.
I blocked it immediately. So he might have texted me a bunch of angry stuff. I’ve no idea. I never saw it.
Block him. He’ll get bored. I wish you the best, it’s not nice.
I wish that women were this fortunate.
