I agree. I'm glad the company had to pay, but if it was really a fair trade for the risk on my part, I feel like it would have to be a payment several orders of magnitude higher. What if I had to change my SSN for repeated identity theft attempts as a result? In the case of ledger, what if I even had to move because I no longer felt safe at that published address? The cost of remediation could vary quite a lot, but at > 1BTC, it might actually represent the risk and impact of having that data public.
