Well if this includes the entire SF-86 database, then I guess it includes me. And I realize there's nothing I can do about it, so I guess I'm not sweating. Life goes on. If it really was the Chinese behind it, then the data likely won't ever end up dumped on pastebin or wherever.
The SF-86 form gets very, very personal, so I can imagine that some folks will be panicked, but reading my form would be a yawner. Maybe I need to get out more :-)
- caseysoftware 11y agoCan you say the same thing about the people they researched to validate your information?

- termain 11y agoIs it the entire SF-86 database, including contractors? Or just government employees?
- caseysoftware 11y agoOP here. Everybody The first sentence of the article I linked to: "The Chinese breach of the Office of Personnel Management network was wider than first acknowledged, and officials said Friday that a database holding sensitive security clearance information on millions of federal employees and contractors also was compromised."
