#Hacks of 2 federal agencies in a month have spilled a bonanza of sensitive data
The #Pentagon is informing more than 2 million current & former military members that their personnel records storing sensitive personal info were stolen over a months long compromise of one of its networks. The #breach is the second one in recent months to expose sensitive gov information.
The records, according to one notification letter posted to Reddit, included #SocialSecurity numbers, names, addresses, sex, race, & occupational specialty. This last category could be particularly valuable to foreign adversaries because it could help their intelligence agencies in identifying high-value #military personnel. Starting last October, #hackers gained access to a system operated by the #DefenseManpowerDataCenter , which collates Dept of #Defense personnel records. The Pentagon says that the breach compromised the records of 2.8 million living individuals.
