Maybe the hacker would at least do something with it. I leave it there, accept people to my "network" once a month and close it. Most of these people aren't in my network. They're just the same randoms I knew and had as faecbook friends prior to closing facebook in 2008.

The biggest threat with these kinds of leaks isn't the data in the account, it's that most people tend to reuse passwords so getting a Facebook or LinkedIn name and password can mean having someone's email and/or online banking logins as well. That's why password managers like Keepass, 1password, or Lastpass among others are a good idea so that users can have strong and unique passwords for everything. This scenario might not apply to you, of course, but it does apply to many.
