Washington, DC…This is a status update on the loss of an external hard drive containing copies of Clinton Administration Executive Office of the President (EOP) data. The external hard drive includes some personally identifying information (PII) of persons who may have worked in the Clinton Executive Office of the President, visited the White House complex, or just submitted PII to the White House (e.g., resumes).
The National Archives recently sent notification letters to approximately 15,750 individuals whose names and social security numbers are on the hard drive that is missing from the National Archives facility in College Park, Maryland. The Archives is offering these individuals one year of free credit monitoring.
The notifications letters were written on National Archives letter head and signed by Adrienne C. Thomas, Acting Archivist of the United States. However, the letters were mailed by Experian, the credit monitoring contractor, who formatted the letters and envelopes in a manner that has raised questions by some recipients about the authenticity of the breach notification letters and the offer of free credit monitoring. NARA would like to assure all individuals affected by this breach that the notification letters are legitimate.

Apparently. Why now?
I thought maybe Slick lost his Viagra.
They are acting stupidly.
You don’t announce publicly that you are giving the potential victims a free year of credit monitoring. Well, unless you want to give the criminals a huge cluebat telling them to how long they should wait before using those SS numbers.
Sheesh.
LMAO!!!!!!
Did anyone look bbehind the copy machine? That’s where the one with all the NEST data was “found” at Los Alamos...
“The notifications letters were written on National Archives letter head and signed by Adrienne C. Thomas, Acting Archivist of the United States. “
SCAM ALERT!
A portion of the data isn’t missing.
How did Adrienne C. Thomas get the addresses?
More coffee!
Hey, Sandy, is that a hard drive in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?
Depending on the external hard drive model, it's actually quite easy:
The height and width is the size of a passport. You can see how thick it is. And it holds up to 640 gigabytes, depending on the model.
It doesn't require a power supply -- it runs off the power supplied by the USB port.
