Please know the perps who steal identity data sit on it because they know when the breach is discovered, credit protection will be provided. They wait for 2-3 years and then exploit your information. The hits just keep coming with our govt.'s incompetence in securing sensitive data.

They should be offering lifetime protection for us and our families.

The irony is obscene. A TS clearance entrusting us with the gub'ment's most potentially-damaging secrets.

But they can't be entrusted with ours.

It wasn't a hack. It was complete incompetence. A contractor had full access, for a very long time, to the data and they just took it.

Since it involves your SF-86 it impacts everybody you listed; spouse, children, siblings, parents, etc. So when they say 21.8 million records, multiply that by a factor of 3-5 to fully understand the level of this breach.

Just got my letter today? Nervous about signing up with the services. It's a third party. Is their data secure?

Can't wait to get home after being away for over 2 weeks to see if I got the letter.
