The breach also compromised the data of 2.9 million postal service customers, the official said. The personal identifying information of the 750,000 employees and retirees includes birth dates, addresses and employment codes used in the Postal Service’s payroll systems, the official briefed on the matter said. USPS customers’ data affected includes names, home addresses, phone numbers and emails, the official said.”
