Even on a larger scale, the world hasn't burnt down with all the private information that's been stolen lately, has it? Have there even been any significant consequences?

Is it possible that the value assigned to keeping that information secret was, in the end, actually appropriate?

"Have there even been any significant consequences?"

Ask someone who's had their identity stolen.

It's a waste of the information stolen to use it while people are still on high alert.
