It's the affiliates that are affected the most, as the hacker might have their SSN - for the consumer it's just an increase in spam, which they're probably used to anyway.

Some of you guys are such idiots its unbelievable. You and people like you are the main reason I decided to blow the lid off this whole thing and now that I have done it I am even more convinced that I did the right thing. "It was just their e-mail address" is pretty much what you are saying and that *could* be all it is. No one knows for sure. You are speculating that thats all it is, just like I am speculating that its more than that. I don't see where your speculation is somehow more valid than mine.
But lets assume, for the sake of argument. Thats a big fucking deal to most people. People expect this industry to maintain their privacy with regard to all of their information and then they breach it in the most negligent manner imaginable and then send people from the adult industry out onto the news sites to try and tell them "Its OK, its just your e-mail address". You people deserve what will come of this. I will be sending piles of letters tomorrow and I will ask the government to get involved. Why? Because most of the people here clearly lack the intelligence to deal with it on their own.
And again, no one has proven that billing info is or was safe. All I have thus far is John's word on that subject and the uneducated opinion of a few board whores. Sorry, thats just not good enough.
