Some Quarter Million Affected When a Computer Hard Drive from the National Archives Goes Missing

It is just now being reported that a computer hard drive that was sent to the National Archives and Records Administration went missing almost a year ago. Personally identifying information, including Social Security numbers and the like, were included on this hard drive, and it contains the data of a quarter of a million Clinton administration staff and White House visitors.

At this point in time, the National Archives and Records Administration is attempting to notify all those who may have been affected, but this could take some considerable time.

If you feel as though you may be affected by this data breach, it is a wise idea to ensure your financial and personal data is safe by enlisting in a credit monitoring service.
