The biggest hacks have been by governments. They aren't looking to steal your credit card, they are interested in espionage on a large scale. OPM and Equifax were likelt state-sponsored hacks. My guess is they are looking for government and corporate individuals to target.

You probably don't need to worry about the hack affecting you directly, but it is affecting you in ways you probably can't imagine.
