This is a fascinating story, but it actually made me feel more secure, not less. Look at the attack vectors they used - physical access, infected hardware, email attachments from strangers? I suppose the easy stuff worked, so they didn't have to come up with anything more sophisticated.
I'd still be more worried about the 1999 attack - social engineering the businesses who hold your information - than about anyone getting it directly from my personal footprint.
