It's pretty amazing just how much data Equifax has on consumers. They also own TheWorkNumber which contains data from HR/payroll of any company using the service (everything from pay, title, insurance info, union affiliation etc). I'm not sure what hackers got away with but potentially much more than just some SSNs. Then there are countless other credit analytics companies hoarding all kinds of other specialized data. It's scary to think about. As a PSA: check out the list [1] of credit reporting companies that the CFPB puts out. It has the names and contact info for most and you can get copies of your full reports from them upon request (most are either required or do so voluntarily). It's a lot of effort to hit all of them but pretty eye opening and, frankly crazy, to see just how much is tracked. There are databases for how often, and where, you return items to stores/businesses as one example.
