I'm fairly sure this info has made it onto the darkweb regardless. A number of people have reported to me that they have been cold called by "their bank" from a spoofed number, given partial account information/address history/ssn last 4/etc, and asked to verify "security questions", and when they hang up and call the bank of course they aren't involved. It sounds exactly like attackers attempting to social engineer their way past the last bits of information they don't have from credit history reports.

Makes all the people talking about suing Equifax for subjecting them to identity theft look pretty silly.
