What are some examples of things that were in the leaks that were actually new information? PRISM is basically the only thing the Utah datacenter could have been used for back then. Cisco firmware having backdoors wasn't even really considered to be on the crackpot side of things pre leaks. I remember people being surprised at the scope of their shipping-intercept program when the leaks were new, but that's about it.

Didn't they lose all biometric info for all federal employees in the OPM hack? Fingerprints and retinal images (for those who had them) too?
