Because, if your exposed data was your credit card information, then the victim can call the card issuer in order to cancel and replace the credit card. If incase, your Social Security number (SSN) and your other personally identifiable information (PII) was stolen, then it will be more risky. Because, this information helps the hacker to steal your identity and also they can use that data in other ways such as visit to the doctor.
