Contact: IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting - U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) 10 things to do as data breach hits 4 million federal workers at hands of Chinese hackers. CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Although data breaches are occurring so often that they're almost becoming routine, this one is potentially disastrous.
A federal office on Thursday said that 4 million current and former federal employees may have had personal information compromised in a massive hacking incident. The Office of Personnel Management, which handles security clearances and employee records, said in a statement that the breach potentially included personnel data, including personally identifiable information. Presumably, that could include Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses and more. The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal said Chinese hackers were responsible for the breach. It's not clear whether other federal records could also have been affected, or how many federal agencies may have been breached.
