Stolen data briefing laws are almost universal now in all 50 states. I would venture to guess anyone who would have had personal data breached will be notified. Yeah it sucks not knowing (I’m probably registered at 20 SSA affiliated sites) but:

A) Most data breach notifications go out months after the initial attack, when the full scope of data stolen is accounted for.

B) If any data was stolen, by law the effected parties will be alerted.

C) They were probably advised not to discuss it until the above notices are posted.
