Chinese hackers gained access to a database of personal information for all U.S. federal employees, according to The New York Times. The hackers penetrated the Office of Personnel Management system and targeted the files of tens of thousands of employees who have applied for top-secret security clearances. A Department of Homeland Security official confirmed that the breach occurred but said there has been no loss of personal information at this time. An emergency response team has been assigned to mitigate any risks identified, according to the official.
