The Office of Personnel Management’s cyber sinkhole is getting deeper. It has been confirmed that 25.7 million people have been affected by several data hacks.
To put it bluntly. The OPM data hack isn’t just big, it is terrifyingly huge.
Hackers who broke into the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s computer network stole 19.7 million background investigation forms and 1.1 million fingerprint records, the agency disclosed Thursday, a sharp escalation in the government’s assessment of the damage caused by the hack.
The agency said hackers likely stole every single background investigation form completed since 2000 and some completed prior to that time.
Think about it. Hackers have stolen every bit of data on ALL background checks that have been conducted since the year 2000. That includes fingerprints, references and more. Don’t forget to add the additional 1.8 million Social Security numbers that the hackers have had access to since late 2013. To put this data breach into numbers perspective, check this out:
Truly mind-boggling. @OPMDirector says number of records compromised in #OPMHack now over 25 million total. Almost the population of Texas.
