Pentagon data breach exposes 3 million
A wide breach has been revealed in the United States Department of Defense (Pentagon) data system, resulting in the leak of sensitive personal information of nearly 3 million individuals, including military personnel and civilian employees. The leaked data includes Social Security numbers and employment details, covering the period from October 2025 to July 2026. The breach led to unauthorized access to the Defense Workforce Data Center, which contains over 60 million records. Protective measures for identity verification and awareness have been implemented, and so far, no malicious use of the information has been reported. This incident coincides with a separate attack targeting the FBI's employment portal, where threats were made to publish personal data of employees. However, the group "ShinyHunters" announced it would not release the data, and no connection has been established between the two incidents.
