Your security has been compromised --for what? You could for example, quite rightly want to sell your home and move address etc. Be one of the first in, the lawers will be itching for a case, as everyone else will take them on when they win.
To succeed in a civil court the claimant would need to prove a loss, which could be remedied by a payment of damages. The possibility of ID theft remains that, a possibility, and it would be hard as case law stands, to ascribe a financial value to that risk, other than the cost of changing account numbers at CC cos and banks, most of which will be for free. OK, a small amount of time, but no personal loss.

I can't see it happening right now. The idea that you need to move house to counter the risk of the MOD laptop is not viable, IMHO.
