Re: The real question is why hasn't anyone at VTech been arrested?
It is not just what they could do now but what they could do with those identities in the future. They have a set of mostly immutable information that could, probably, be used to commit all sorts of identity theft in a few years...
I'm also disgusted that the talk talk hack was mainstream news for, well, not a lot whereas this hack which exposed *childrens* personal details barely made the tech news.
My wife works in a school, and I asked her to bring it to the head teachers attention, and then hopefully the local education authority... Their lack of understanding was almost embarrassing... Now, if a child had been in physical danger they might have understood.
Thankfully my child was not exposed but a lot were. Including children of teachers at the school my wife works at! And they thought the email from vtech was a phishing scam!
