This is silly, because losing data would be lower outrage, and they might even purchase the data from other agencies so we wouldn't even know it happen. Also the data that leaked is not the valuable data to them. See how proudly they stated that no core databases were affected? Not giving a damn about us? What's valuable to them and to banks that use them are the actual information about our credit. If that was compromised that would kill them, because they would lose trust of their real customers (banks).
