i don’t think credit freezing matters too much in this case because the leak wasn’t tied to SSN, name, etc. that would be used for identity theft. it was phone call and location data. much worse for privacy but less useful for financial fraud.


It sadly does matter for anyone who applied to work at advance autoparts , though. Their SSNs and the like are out there; the company's main database was hit.
