I am affected by this and as it happens, my husband's pension from a commercial job was affected in the same attack - the breach was actually suffered by a third party who processes data for several major pension providers. My husband's pension company was equally mediocre in their response (although their letter arrived several days before the email from USS) and they were also unhelpful when he called them up. Neither of us have noticed an uptick in suspicious behaviour or phishing attacks, but both being computer scientists we keep a firm eye on such things as a matter of course.
Experian has a complex process of getting the support.
