Better be safe than sorry and assume that whatever information you shared in your ticket has been seen by someone who shouldn't.

I'm sure these people would love to talk to you:

yeah it's like, if you submit a ticket you register and gain agent privileges
it's weird
"they're so committed to letting the community fix their game they're letting them run support now too"
The PII is much more severe since they could be subject to huge fines if governments decide to pursue it, which the EU could be quite likely to do since it's a major violation of consumer rights. The canvas bag kerfuffle is a little different since Bethesda actually admitted their mistake and were trying to fix it, doesn't make what they did right but they fixed it to avoid potential lawsuits.
I'd imagine real life consequences makes you an automatic winner.
Man, it's gonna be insane if they are recording that catagory tomorrow while all of this is unfolding and while it's fresh in their memories, that conversation will be quite something.
Are we sure Fallout 76 and related matters aren't a private-public venture committing social experiments ?
Man, it has been sometime since with have had a disater of this proportion. I was kinda missing the fun :)
What about the similarly titled, PLEASE STOP!! category?
So this is how you feel when you enjoy something that you haven't played. This is just both entertaining and comical and appalling, all wrapped up in one.
I think personal data being mishandled is a little more serious than a gaming forum redesign you didn't prefer.
Isn't that illegal? and a worse offense than false advertisement?
They probably are hoping for the community to make their own bags and ship them to each other. Expecting another 500 atoms as a sorry for leaking everyone's personal information, at least now everyone will be able to buy the digital canvas bag.

I don't follow Waypoint much, but does Walker love this game too? :p
Generate some AI thread titles with Bethesda as the seed and see if we can discover which bugs are real and which aren't!
If they didn't write the ticketing software they'll just pass the buck onto the company that did develop it. They are likely to be able to wash their hands free of this besides the bad PR.
So what exactly is Bethesda going to do going forward? FO76 has been an apocalyptic level ass showing.
