I feel most for those who have young children. If you consider the long term viability of SSN over the life-span of a person who is under the age of 5 today they'll likely have been exposed to a breach that will contain their dox a few times over by the time they reach a legal age - that is likely a conservative estimate given the frequency of these events. SSN is broken and we're going to see a lot of push back going forward as these people come of age.

TL;DR If you're a parent, monitor your child's SSN for activity. Especially considering this is a healthcare breach, nobody is immune.
