AP: The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that data from the Office of Personnel Management and the Interior Department had been compromised. “The FBI is conducting an investigation to identify how and why this occurred,” the statement said. The hackers were believed to be based in China, said Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican. Collins, a member of the Senate intelligence committee, said the breach was “yet another indication of a foreign power probing successfully and focusing on what appears to be data that would identify people with security clearances.” A U.S. official, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the data breach, said it could potentially affect every federal agency. One key question is whether intelligence agency employee information was stolen. Former government employees are affected as well.

Former government employees affected.. I wonder if people who perhaps were declined jobs, or maybe those who simply applied for jobs, also could be in a danger zone..

American investigators believe they can trace the breach to the Chinese government. Hackers working for the Chinese military are believed to be compiling a massive database of Americans, intelligence officials told CNN on Thursday night.

It is not clear what the purpose of the database is.

Cyberattack compromises government workers

Cyberattack compromises government workers

This is a big deal:

Four million current and former federal employees may have had their personal information hacked, the Office of Personnel Management said on Thursday…

The government is saying tonight that his may be the biggest breach of government computers to date.

Personnel Management is urging potential victims to monitor their financial statements and obtain new credit reports ..

This is where things start getting creepy..

CNN is reporting this:

American investigators believe they can trace the breach to the Chinese government. Hackers working for the Chinese military are believed to be compiling a massive database of Americans, intelligence officials told CNN on Thursday night.

It is not clear what the purpose of the database is.

Employees of the legislative and judicial branches, and uniformed military personnel, were not affected.

There are currently 2.7 million federal executive branch employees – it’s unclear if this affected every single one (plus former employees), or only a portion.

A database…being put together by China.. just as the Obama Administration is set to hand even more private data over to China and other states with a secret trade agreement that the world only is able to read thanks to Wikileaks..
Things indeed are awry..

This is also the agency that handles security clearances.. And now names are known.
