I hope you guys are aware that OPM, at least as of earlier in the year, was 18 months behind in BIs. The reason: two of the contractors hired to do BIs were phoning them in. IOW, they weren't doing them, they were just saying they did them and collecting their money. They were fired and all the BIs they did had to be redone. There are lots of people working for the TSA right now that have not had a real BI. I suspect this is true at some other agencies as well.Terlingueno wrote:Yep, I have received three notifications. The last was this past week on my SF86. All my .gov info was breached. Had a false tax return filed with my info back in March. I am pretty irritated, and when I ask my agency what they plan to do, the look at me funny and say, "oh, .gov is giving you free credit monitoring for three years". Gee thanks. It will be interesting on the next BI I have to do, since I have some very pointed questions for the investigator.

Re: US Govt. data breach
Do you know someone who had a background check? Your information may have been part of the background investigation of someone you know or are related to. My son recently had a BI for a position with CBP and they interviewed friends, family, and professors. I don't know how much information is contained in the record for those who aren't the actual applicant, but they have name, address, phone, and probably place of employment at a minimum.Austin83 wrote:Has anyone here received a letter from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regarding the cyber theft of background investigation records? I received a letter today showing my information was included in the intrusion. I am not a government employee, and I've never applied for a government job so I'm confused as to why the OPM data breach included my information. I'm wondering if my information was included from my CHL background check or from a background check while purchasing a firearm. Anyone else get one of these letters yet?
