“Chinese hackers are suspected of carrying out a ‘massive breach’ affecting the data of millions of US government workers, officials said. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) confirmed on Thursday that almost four million current and past employees have been affected. The breach could potentially affect every federal agency, officials said. Susan Collins, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the attack was thought to originate in China. OPM serves as the human resource department for the federal government. The agency issues security clearances and compiles records of all federal government employees.”
