My passport number was among the unencrypted numbers that were exposed. There is no way of knowing if the data has been used or sold, nor is there any way of knowing if it will be used or sold at a later date, that is not the standard by which data breeches are tested, the standard is was private identifying information compromised. In my case, Marriott admits it was.
