Hackers swiped Social Security numbers from 21.5 million people -- as well as fingerprint records and information from background check investigations -- in the massive breach earlier this year of federal employee data, the government acknowledged Thursday.

The Office of Personnel Management included the findings in a report Thursday on developments in the investigation into a pair of major hacks.

I am one of them....got letter yesterday. I didn’t even know this happened. You would have thought my agency would have said something.

[jagusafr]

Well, isn’t THAT frickin’ special...hopefully my Lifelock subscription’s up to date.

[Louis Foxwell]

Did your letter explain when and how the SSA will give you a new number and greater security?

[bikerman]

And we all trust the Government correct let me hear a YaHoo.

[Louis Foxwell]

So glad to hear China and not criminals have the data. LOL

[napscoordinator]

You would have thought my agency would have said something.

Multiply the Damage/Exposure by X10 from whatever this Administration will Admit.

[petitfour]

Hahahahaha. What difference does it make? Obama and his minions already had it.

[dragnet2]

Naval Academy?

[Ray76]

Yeah? More like that’s how many illegal aliens have stolen SSN and this is just a cover story.

Some people are incompetent to know what to do with what they have.
Others are competent.

[buffaloguy]

just wait until they download the Obamacare files. Probably have already.

How much would the Chinese charge us for the dossier on Caliph Baraq?

[Grampa Dave]

Apparently, the ChiCom hackers got into this data base last December.

Our sharp government personal data protectors found out about that break in, this spring.

These clowns admitted/fessed up re the breakin a few weeks ago.

Now, they are fessing up about how many Americans had their SS#’s stolen and other personal data.

Might be a good time to invest in LifeLock.
