Now, USDA Data Goes Missing
Another day, another data theft at a federal agency. USA Today reports that a hacker broke into an Agriculture Department computer system earlier this month and may have stolen the names, Social Security numbers and photos of 26,000 Washington-area employees and contractors. The information was used to create staff and contractor ID badges. USDA has a toll-free number people can call for information about the incident: 1-800-FED-INFO (1-800-333-4636).
