On the plus side, if you were military or had a clearance, far, far, more was leaked due to OPMB breaches.
Or a credit report. Equifax was breached a few years ago and give up everything.

It took probably 20 minutes to create free accounts at Experian, TransUnion and Equifax to freeze my credit and prevent anyone else from using that breached data.
Should have done this years ago.
NerdWallet link with instructions to freeze your credit.
=================
ETA: Experian seem like real slimeballs. 24 hours after I froze my credit, they sent me an email with a login link saying "don't forget to START your security freeze."
That email link gave no free way to confirm my credit freeze, only options to buy paid monitoring subscriptions.
So I logged in again with the free URL in the NerdWallet article, using the credentials I created the day before, and found that my credit was frozen as I configured it.
Scary to think people this sleazy control your credit report.
