The federal government is finally getting around to notifying the 21.5 million people whose personal data may have been stolen in a massive data breach at the Office of Personnel Management, several months after the agency first revealed it had been targeted by hackers.
...
OPM first announced in early June that the background investigation records of millions of current, former and prospective federal employees and contractors had been stolen in a cyber intrusion that started in early 2014. In mid-June, the agency disclosed a second larger attack that targeted information for millions more Americans who applied for security clearances. The fallout from the disclosures led to the resignation of Katherine Archuleta as director of OPM.
Last week, OPM announced that 5.6 million individuals' fingerprints were stolen in the cyberattack — more than five times the amount originally reported.
Did this make the news when it occurred? I didn't see any threads on this in the past - which is strange with the volume of traffic around here. Seems like this was kept pretty quiet amongst the mainstream media.
I wasn't sent a letter, but I have moved a number of times since I worked for the Government, so I wasn't sure they would know how to contact me. But I found a page on the OPM website where I could enter my information, and I received a letter a week or two later letting me know that I wasn't affected by the hacking incident.

Can you tell me where? I have moved since I worked for them, as well, and I'd like to know if I need to be even more ticked off than I already am about this.
