What are your concerns on this Data attack on government employees?
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) recently became aware of a cybersecurity incident affecting its systems and data that may have exposed the personal information of Federal personnel. Since the incident was identified, OPM has partnered with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) to determine the impact to Federal personnel. OPM immediately implemented additional security measures and will continue to improve the security of the sensitive information it manages.

OPM takes very seriously its responsibility to protect employee information, and has selected CSID and Winvale to assist affected individuals.

If you’re a current or former federal employee impacted by this personal information exposure, and are eligible to receive identity protection coverage, you will receive confirmation one of two ways:

1. Email notification

2. A letter via the U.S. Postal Service

The delivery of notification emails and letters will commence Monday, June 8, 2015. These notifications will continue to be delivered over the span of two weeks and will contain specific instructions and PIN codes to access identity protection services provided for FREE to impacted individuals.

Additional information regarding impacted agencies and individuals will be posted on this website by Monday, June 8, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. CST.

If you are a current or former employee of an agency that was impacted by this personal information exposure, you will be notified. Please refrain from contacting us until those notifications have been delivered with further instructions.

They need to use all that powerful NSA hardware, find out who is responsible for this leak of data and information and then use some really old technology, a rope and hang them.

I'm a current Department of Defense employee, I'm concerned about this latest hack and I'm waiting to see if I receive official notification.
