I checked to see if my SS# was stolen in that data hack. Yep, it was there and so was my wife's. There was some incorrect info, but they had my correct Name, DOB, phone, and social. It was from a few years ago when I still lived in CA, but still disconcerting that they had my correct SS. There is a free tool that looks at the data and it only displays part of your DOB and last two of ss. But they were correct so I assume my info is in there. I have seen this tool referenced in several news articles and it only needs your name, state and year of birth so seems legit. I have freezes and alerts on all my credit and an IRS security PIN etc, so I think I'm safe. NPD Data Breach Checker: https://npd.pentester.com/
With all the hacks I'm sure everyone's data has been leaked by. I mean I used to have a Yahoo account and that Google lady who led Yahoo for a few terrible years had multiple full site hacks. I mean Equifax got hacked and they pretty much have everyone's data.

Here is an informative Reddit post that shows how you can go farther than just freezes at the 3 main credit agencies. You can opt out at LexisNexis, get an IRS Security PIN, and freeze at ChexSystems. ChexSystems is used by banks and should also be frozen. A little bit of a pain but probably worth it. I'm old and retired so I no longer need new bank accounts or loans, but a younger person may find it a hassle to freeze and unfreeze everything, but at least you should get credit monitoring and check the free credit reports. You can get a report for free every week now. A good reason to at least get a free account at the 3 agencies is so a criminal doesn't beat you to it. Then it will be much more of a hassle to get that straightened out.
