They got breached and it took them a couple months to detect and shut down the breach. Now they would like me to trust them to detect unauthorized activity with my identity and to give them more information that they can store on their servers. Is that right?

Now they are saying that they found some people sold large amounts of stock right after the incident and before the public announcement. Under investigation for insider trading...

Yep. We'll see if anything happens with that. I doubt they will get in trouble.
