White House update June 11, 2015 - Up to 14 Million government employees records hacked, including Military, Pentagon, Secret Service, FBI and CIA personal records containing security clearances, intelligence data, social security numbers, birthday dates and home addresses. The government is scrambling to identify the extend of information stolen. Nevertheless, this should be considered a major National Security incident. Massive U.S. Government Data Breach news report continues below, before the story was updated to 14 Million current and past federal employees records compromised.

Hackers stole personnel data and Social Security numbers for every federal employee, a government worker union said Thursday, charging that the cyberattack on U.S. employee data is far worse than the Obama administration has acknowledged. Senator Harry Reid said on the Senate floor that the December hack into Office of Personnel Management data was carried out by "the Chinese." Reid is one of eight lawmakers who is briefed on the most secret intelligence information. U.S. officials have declined to publicly blame China, which has denied involvement.

J. David Cox, president of the American Federal of Government Employees, said in a letter to OPM director Katherine Archuleta that based on OPM's internal briefings, the hackers stole military records and veterans' status information, address, birth date, job and pay history, health insurance, life insurance, and pension information; age, gender, race data.

"We believe that Social Security numbers were not encrypted, a cybersecurity failure that is absolutely indefensible and outrageous."

"Based on the sketchy information OPM has provided, we believe that the Central Personnel Data File was the targeted database, and that the hackers are now in possession of all personnel data for every federal employee, every federal retiree, and up to one million former federal employees."
