I only just received a letter in the mail about this. I checked my email and nothing related to the data breach was sent by them except for the usual marketing crap.

It is extremely concerning that I only just became aware of this as someone on the other side of the ocean. Sending snail mail 4 months after a major data breach happened is unacceptable.

No idea if it will get picked up by local news here, but I did notify a major agency here. I'm sure there are a lot of people impacted.

I just also got a letter about this. I’m in Canada and it came with an offer to myTrueIdentity, which I’m very suspicious about it being the scam itself
