“Most of the compromised accounts have fake data and IPs from anonymous VPNs or proxies that are not likely to bring much actionable evidence to law enforcement agencies for investigation,” Ilia Kolochenko, founder and chief executive of web security company ImmuniWeb, told SiliconANGLE. “Even the Western law enforcement agencies are currently underequipped to investigate and prosecute cybercrime on a large scale, and will probably not initiate investigatory operations after the leak.”

Cybercriminals will probably not exploit the stolen information in an aggressive manner except for some rival gangs aiming to stiff competition.”
