Because a conference in Paris was a higher priority......

Got my letter a month ago; many friends got theirs months before, so I had hoped I escaped.

At issue: almost every bit of info on you, friends, family, schools, and employment was on your SF86.

So yeah, it could affect your kids.

I also received three other OPM letters for other folks that listed my mailing address on them but did not have their correct address (one was for my neighbor).

Our wonderful Federal Govt chugging along in usual fashion.

My concern is they are only offering 3 years credit monitoring......so after those 3 years? We screwed up, sorry about your luck?

Yeah, I thought that was crappy, too.

But maybe they realize our country will collapse in two years, so they are really giving you more than we need....

I got it as well, advising my fingerprints were also compromised. Gotta love that.

Not much technology for duplicating those now, but in the future? Say, maybe a little more than 3 years?

What a joke.

My wife got her's a few weeks ago (Just renewed her TS clearance) I got mine today. Her company's Security Department told her the letters are real, however, it appears someone has hacked the letters and are sending them out as e-mails asking to verify your personal info.

I don't want to sign up for the monitoring yet, I'm concerned it will eliminate my ability to join a class action lawsuit in the future. I can't see how such a suit could lose if just asking for lifetime monitoring.
