(At least for Equifax) you can get a new pin if you provide a basic form of identification. Guess what they accept? The very things that were stolen.

That's not clear from their help article about it [1], depending on what, in their definition, constitutes "proper identification forms":
"If you lose the PIN that was issued to you when you added the Security Freeze to your credit file, you may request a new one in writing. Please provide proof of identification, such as a copy of your driver's license, passport, birth certificate or other proper identification forms."
