The U.S. is investigating a massive data breach that exposed personal information on around 4 million federal government workers, according to news reports Thursday.
China is suspected of having a hand in the attack, described by an unnamed official as “one of the largest thefts of government data ever seen,” the
Wall Street Journal reported.
The attack targeted the Office of Personnel Management, a government agency tasked with hiring and retaining government workers. The same agency was breached last year, but this was apparently a separate attack.
