If you haven't heard, there was a recent security breach in which the hackers stole info from over 21.5 million people. If you think you could be one (no one has been informed if they've been affected yet), you can check for more info here. This is especially true for people that have gone through background checks/finger printing since the year 2000 www.opm.gov/cybersecurity/

I was one of the Department of Defense people that got hacked. Received notification by letter from the Government a week ago.

bill, what I've heard, it's (mostly) Fed employees that have been affected by the breach. Hoping you get your stuff sorted out ASAP by the gov.

I really have not done anything since notified. Everyone in my agency got hacked which could be considered pretty major......

What I read recently was that the most likely culprit is China, and that they were searching for security clearance/access levels. One thing you might consider doing is changing ALL of your passwords and enrolling in a credit monitoring service (the gov agency should provide free access to those affected) at the very least. Next thing we know bill, you'll be posting FS adds about Oakleys and RayBans, seeing as that's what happens when someone's accounts have been hacked. Lol. In any case, hope things get sorted out.
