OT: Public Notice SF86 Data Breach
Some here - national security clearance applicants and holders - likely will now need to monitor their financial and other formally private records for the rest of their lives. According to published reports, suspected Chinese hackers have accessed and downloaded the personally identifiable information (closely held private) for every person referenced during the SF86 disclosure process even if you weren't the submitter. This post is simply to notify every person here that if you were ever named in an SF86 application that your records are at risk. Good luck.
A quick search will tell you everything you need to know about getting a clearance and who needs one... that info isn't even FOUO.
It's the information one receives after he or she has the clearance/need to know that we're not legally or morally authorized to discuss.
When I had my clearance, I was told not to discuss the level or that I even had one. That has nothing to do with the information I was expected to protect.
Source for the SF86 being the actual document that was taken? what about other documents? OPM has a lot of other stuff on people.
I agree, but we're just as much to blame. Someone needs to launch denial of service attacks against Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, TMZ and Spotify, maybe that will get Americans to start actually demanding some accountability.
In the past two months I just completed my 5 year re-investigation and polygraph. I have not been notified yet, but my data is probably at the top of the list as it was recently submitted and stored.
I'm a bit confused by this one... reports said military members data weren't breached. But I did have a SSBI when I was active duty.
Which is it, is my SF86 data compromised or am I safe because I wasn't a civilian?
As they continue to unravel this, anyone that has comnpleted a SF-86 or held a SSBI will be in jeopardy.
Those cocksuckers... our completely inept gov't continues to piss me off.
It's not just our personal data, but our entire family, relatives, friends, neighbors etc all get linked in those documents. It's a complete train wreck!
I think I have BMF clearance , so I think ill be ok.
Well, I had TSSCI when I was in the Army, and Secret in a later civilian contractor position. Good luck guessing which one I gave accurate information in, commies!
Which probably means the info will be given to Russia at some point.
Wow. I feel for you all affected.
I'm in the military, but I don't hold a clearance (luckily).
Unfortunately, reading through this thread is better than a movie. Grabbin my popcorn...
