Pentagon data breach exposes records of over 3 million people
Original: Pentagon DMDC data breach exposes records of over 3 mn people
A breach at the Pentagon's Defense Manpower Data Center has exposed personal records of more than 3 million people, in one of the larger US defense-related data incidents reported recently. The DMDC holds personnel and benefits information, so the exposure raises concerns about identity theft and the security of military and civilian staff data. Details on who was behind the breach and exactly what data was taken remain limited.
Why now: Cybersecurity breaches involving US defense data are rare in scale and raise immediate privacy and national security concerns.
