The Obama administration is scrambling to assess the impact of a massive data breach involving the agency that handles security clearances and employee records, U.S. officials said Thursday.

A congressional aide familiar with the situation, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to discuss it, said the Office of Personnel Management and the Interior Department were hacked.

They already run the first two, and they're closing in on the last.

Probably only impacted those hired before January 2009, so no need to worry folks.

And don't ask to see the e-mails on this subject, as the hard drives failed on those computers and had to be destroyed.

So what will they do about it? Target and others cover free protection to discover potential illegal uses.

Do we know if the OPM handles security clearance info for everyone (contractors and federal employees) or just federal employees? just wondering if my scum contractor SF-86 form is making the rounds in Beijing now or not. :-(

[Mears]

Apparently, this affects somewhere around 4 million FEDERAL EMPLOYEES?

Well hell then, I say, GREAT!!! Share the wealth of info with the rest of us, there, Mr. & Mrs. Hackers!
