Pentagon breach affects 2.76M
ABC News has revealed that a major breach targeted the U.S. Department of Defense's (DoD) database, leading to the exposure of sensitive information about 2.76 million military and civilian personnel, including Social Security numbers and details of their job assignments. The data was accessed unlawfully between October 2025 and July 2026 due to a vulnerability in the Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) data center system, which maintains over 60 million records of active service members, retirees, and contractors. Although the vulnerability has since been identified and addressed, there have been no reports so far of malicious use of the exposed information. Authorities are actively monitoring and safeguarding identities. This breach occurs amid ongoing threats related to sensitive information and raises serious security concerns given the nature and importance of the data for national security.
