• BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION DATA BREACH NOTIFICATIONS HAVE BEGUN - October 2, 2015

• OPM starts notifying breach victims — by mail

  By Aaron Boyd, Federal Times

  The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) began notifying the 21.5 million victims of the background investigation data breach on September 30. It is important to note that, unlike the first breach, these notifications will be sent via U.S. Postal Service, and not via email, and the notification process will take several months to complete.

Victims will be protected for three years. FMA has repeatedly called for lifetime protection for all victims.
