WASHINGTON - The U.S. defense agency responsible for secure communications for the U.S. president and other high-level officials said social security numbers and other personal data in its network may have been “compromised”, in a letter seen by Reuters that was sent to potential victims.

The Defense Information Systems Agency, which calls itself a combat support agency of the Department of Defense on its web site, employs 8,000 military and civilian employees.

The letter says that between May and July 2019, personal data may have been compromised.

Wait for it ...... My letter came about a year from the OPM that my security background investigations data had been compromised. That was 2014.

Yeah...all of our security clearance investigation information in the hands of the PLA...but we get three years of credit monitoring free.

Isn’t that great?

Might be time to return to trusted human couriers carrying paper messages, or oral delivery.
