  • On Wednesday last week, the US Office of Personnel Management admitted that the data breach it suffered in June was worse than first thought with 5.6 million fingerprints among the2.5 million personal records compromised. It had thought the figure was 1.1 million. Although guilt is hard to prove, the US govemment suspects that Chinese hackers stole the biometric data, enabling them to clone the identities at security-cleared personnel.
