How did they notify me? By e-mail.

The Chinese probably read the message before I did.

You can't make this stuff up...
Same here.

It seems like a lot of my friends at work received notices by email this past Friday, I received mine in my Junk Email folder, many others have received theirs directly in their email folders.

Nobody I know has received anything by U.S. Mail.

I am off of work this week and I am going to sit tight until I get back to work.

My command has been forwarding us emails from from other agencies which at times has been confusing.

Some say do not trust any email offering credit protection, others stating the website address they send has dropped a letter to trick you.

I just wish someone from my command would put something out that is abbreviated yet clear and concise, although I believe with this is running so deep and large my command does not want the responsibility or liability of putting out wrong information.

The numbers continue to grow each day and the timing of the breach appears to go back to late 2014.

On another note, some of these forwarded emails form other agencies contain names of people that do not exist in my Global Adress Book...............but this is most likely my paranoia!

And, of course, as is the case with everything under this administration, "no one is personally responsible."

Then there's Joe Biden, who told the Chinese he wasn't going to lecture them (after which they proceeded to lecture him), and John Kerry blabbing that he's going to have a "frank discussion" with the Chinese. Really? When these buffoons won't even publicly name the culprit? [Play Benny Hill Theme here]. No wonder everyone's laughing at us.

Not to worry. I'm sure Obama's popping off an angry letter right now. The Chinese must be shaking in their boots.

The wait time is over 60 minutes!

My husband's a retiree, and never gave OPM his edress. He heard me say too often when people, agencies, etc. ask for mine that We emailed it to you were words I was never going to hear lol.

We were told that emails were being sent out alphabetically by surname.
