According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/national-security\/chinese-hackers-breach-federal-governments-personnel-office\/2015\/06\/04\/889c0e52-0af7-11e5-95fd-d580f1c5d44e_story.html\">Washington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The hack was the largest breach of federal employee data in recent years. It was the second major intrusion of the same agency by China in less than a year and the second significant foreign breach into U.S. government networks in recent months.Last year, Russia compromised White House and State Department e-mail systems in a campaign of cyber\u00adespionage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, if they stole my identity, I hope they have better luck with it than I have. By the way, which ever unfortunate Chinese guy gets my name, you have a couple of court dates that you might want to put on your calender.<\/p>\n<p>The government says that folks affected will be eligible for free credit monitoring for 18 months. I never stopped my credit monitoring from LifeLock since the VA lost my information the first time 10 or 12 years ago, because the government is always slow to alert us about the breach. Be prepared.<\/p>\n<p>The only person LifeLock ever busted for using my identity was my wife. They alerted me to the use of my social security number on her car loan as a co-signer while she was still at the dealer. So I know the thing works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of you dropped notes to us that the Chinese hacked into the Office of Personnel &hellip; <a title=\"OPM says they were hacked by the Chinese\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=60231\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">OPM says they were hacked by the Chinese<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60232,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=60231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/60232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=60231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=60231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=60231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
