Except you couldn't sue for potential identity theft - to sue Equifax for damages from identity theft, you'd have to prove it actually happened to you personally, and probably also prove Equifax is to blame (which may ironically be harder the more leaks are out there, as they could always claim it's not their leak that led to the theft but someone else's).
