Your ID is somewhat fixable. Leaks of all your email,
voice calls, [naked selfie] pictures, social messages, and
complete personal metadata, call / contact / friends lists,
locations, shopping purchases, etc, etc.... is not.
That's what's to fear.
People will ignore news reports about some
researcher or blackhat 'leaked' stuff.. it all sounds
safe and taken care of. If news said someone posted
peoples crap with a nice search interface on takedown
proof darknet, and it's still there flaunting everyone,
they might get pissed enough to act and demand
heads heads roll until the problems start going away.
