Office of Personnel Management data breach : ウィキペディア英語版 | Office of Personnel Management data breach In June 2015, the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced that it had been the target of a data breach targeting the records of as many as four million people. Later, FBI Director James Comey put the number at 18 million. The data breach, which had started in March 2014, and may have started earlier, was noticed by the OPM in April 2015.〔〔 It has been described by federal officials as among the largest breaches of government data in the history of the United States.〔 Information targeted in the breach included personally identifiable information such as Social Security numbers, as well as names, dates and places of birth, and addresses.〔 The hack went deeper than initially believed and likely involved theft of detailed security-clearance-related background information. One victim wrote that the OPM is the agency that asks your neighbors what they know about you that could be used to blackmail you.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://fusion.net/story/149831/opm-hack-happened-to-me/ )〕 On July 9, 2015, the estimate of the number of stolen records had increased to 21.5 million. This included records of people who had undergone background checks, but who were not necessarily current or former government employees. Soon after, Katherine Archuleta, the director of OPM, and former National Political Director for Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign, resigned. == Discovery == The ''New York Times'' had reported that the infiltration was discovered using United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT)'s Einstein intrusion-detection program and it predated the Einstein deployment, which began a year earlier.〔 However, the ''Wall Street Journal'', ''Wired'', ''Ars Technica'', and ''Fortune'' later reported that it was unclear how the breach was discovered. It may have been a product demonstration of CyFIR, a commercial forensic product from a Manassas, Virginia security company CyTech Services that uncovered the infiltration.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A product demo revealed the 'biggest ever' government data breach - Fortune )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Report: Hack of government employee records discovered by product demo )〕 These reports were subsequently confirmed by CyTech Services in a press release issued by the company on June 15, 2015 to clarify contradictions made by OPM spokesman Sam Schumach in a later edit of the Fortune〔 article.
