* Valdis Kletnieks:

And given that most of the breaches have been in the US, it's safe to guess
that most of the 93M have been US resident's records.  With the population
sitting at just under 300M, that means a 1 in 3 chance your stuff has
been swiped.

I would expect that the affected part of the population is somewhat
smaller because the breaches (or more precisely, the leaked data) are
not totally uncorrelated.
