FROM DOD NEWSDEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY

U.S. Office of Personnel Management of-ficials announced July 9 the results of the in-teragency forensics investigation into a re-cent cyber incident involving federal back-ground investigation data and the steps it istaking to protect those affected.

In late May, as a result of ongoing effortsto secure its systems, OPM discovered an in-cident affecting background investigation re-cords of current, former and prospective fed-eral employees and contractors, officials said.

The forensics investigation determinedthat the types of information in these re-cords include identification details suchas Social Security numbers; residency andeducational history; employment history;information about immediate family andother personal and business acquaintances;health, criminal and financial history; andother details.

Some records also include findings frominterviews conducted by background inves-tigators and fingerprints. Usernames andpasswords that background investigationapplicants used to fill out their backgroundinvestigation forms also were stolen.

21.5 Million Social SecurityNumbers Stolen

Since learning of the incident affectingbackground investigation records, OPMand the interagency incident response teamconcluded that sensitive information, in-cluding the Social Security numbers of 21.5million individuals, was stolen from thebackground investigation databases. Thisincludes 19.7 million people who applied fora background investigation, and 1.8 millionnon-applicants, predominantly spouses orcohabitants of applicants, officials said.

There is no information at this time tosuggest any misuse or further dissemina-tion of the information that was stolen fromOPM’s systems, they added.

“While background investigation recordsdo contain some information regardingmental health and financial history provid-ed by those that have applied for a securityclearance and by individuals contacted dur-ing the background investigation, there isno evidence that separate systems that storeinformation regarding the health, financial,payroll and retirement records of federalpersonnel were impacted by this incident,”OPM officials said in a news release.

Separate From Previous IncidentThis incident is separate, but related to, a

previous incident discovered in April affect-ing personnel data for current and formerfederal employees officials said. OPM andits interagency partners concluded “with ahigh degree of confidence” that personneldata for 4.2 million individuals had beenstolen, officials said.

“This number has not changed since itwas announced by OPM in early June, andOPM has worked to notify all of these indi-viduals and ensure that they are providedwith the appropriate support and tools toprotect their personal information,” thenews release says.

Assistance for Those AffectedTo protect those affected, OPM is pro-

viding a comprehensive suite of monitoringand protection services for background in-vestigation applicants and non-applicants

whose Social Security numbers or other sen-sitive information were stolen.

For the 21.5 million background inves-tigation applicants, spouses or cohabitantswith Social Security numbers and othersensitive information that was stolen fromOPM databases, OPM and the Defense De-partment will work with a private-sector firmspecializing in credit and identity theft mon-itoring to provide services tailored to addresspotential risks created by this particular in-cident for at least three years, at no charge.

Notification PackagesIn the coming weeks, OPM will begin to

send notification packages to these individ-uals, which will provide details on the inci-dent and information on how to access theseservices. OPM also will provide educationalmaterials and guidance to help them preventidentity theft, better secure their personaland work-related data, and become moregenerally informed about cyber threats andother risks presented by malicious actors.

Other individuals whose name, address,date of birth, or other similar informationmay have been listed on a background in-vestigation form, but whose Social Securitynumbers are not included, could includeimmediate family members or other closecontacts of the applicant.

In many cases, the information aboutthese individuals is the same as informa-tion generally available in public forums,such as online directories or social media,and therefore the compromise of this infor-mation generally does not present the samelevel of risk of identity theft or other issues,officials said.

The notification package that will be sentto background investigation applicants willinclude detailed information that applicantscan provide to people they may have listedon a background investigation form. Thisinformation will explain the types of datathat may have been included on the form,best practices they can exercise to protectthemselves, and the resources publiclyavailable to address questions or concerns,officials said.

New ResourcesOPM has launched a new, online inci-

dent resource center at https://www.opm.gov/cybersecurity to offer information re-garding the OPM incidents as well as directindividuals to materials, training, and use-ful information on best practices to securedata, protect against identity theft, and staysafe online.

This resource site will be regularly updat-ed with the most recent information aboutboth the personnel records and backgroundinvestigation incidents, responses to fre-

quently asked questions, and tools that canhelp guard against emerging cyber threats,officials said. A call center will follow in theweeks to come, they added.

In June, OPM identified 15 new steps toimprove security, leverage outside exper-tise, modernize its systems and ensure in-ternal accountability in its cyber practices.

This includes completing deployment oftwo-factor “strong authentication” for allusers, expanding continuous monitoring ofits systems, and hiring a new cybersecurityadvisor.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

According to their website, one pos-sible outcome of the Office of PersonnelManagement (OPM) data breaches is theuse of the information to engage in socialengineering.

Jim Magdalenski, director of NavalOPSEC Support Team at Naval Informa-tion Operations Command in Norfolk,Virginia, agrees.

According to Magdalenski, social engi-neering is the process of someone solicit-ing information from another person overa period of time without the victim know-ing what kind of information the perpe-trator is looking for.

“If I wanted to learn more about you,about your job, about what you do and allof that sort of stuff, I would ‘social engi-neer’ you just by becoming your friend,”he explained.

As the director of a team specializing inOPSEC (operational security) and under-standing the risks, Magdalenski can iden-tify multiple ways in which people can bemanipulated into giving information thatcan lead to personal, organizational, ornational consequences.

“There was a gentleman who owned arestaurant near Fort Meade where someof the base employees were regulars. Theman had gotten to know these customers,and he was there for years. No one knewthat - literally for decades - he had beensocial engineering them and passing in-formation back to his country,” Magda-lenski noted.

He said social engineering can happento anyone, including online.

“We had a case of two Sailors who werevictims of ‘sextortion’,” he offered, “afterthey sent [private] photos to [people] theyhad never met in person, the perpetratorsdemanded money.”

What makes social engineering so ef-fective, he emphasized, is not knowingwhat the person is after and failing to seetheir motivation until it’s too late.

“If I want to get close to you, I’m goingto go online. I’m going to ‘like’ the thingsyou like. I’m going to have similar hobbiesto the ones you do because I’ve done myresearch. I will then start soliciting infor-mation from you.

“It’ll start out with the basic stuff, andthen it’ll just progress from there until itgets bigger and bigger and bigger. That’sessentially what social engineering is.Thisis how some of our adversaries work - theygain trust over a period of time - and thenthey start working information.

“If you’re a Boston Red Sox fan and Isee that on your Facebook page, I wouldthen friend you as a Boston Red Sox fan.The next thing you know, I may show upat the same place where you like to go andwatch the game, because you made thatinformation available on your social net-working site,” he said.

“The next target may be someone on asubmarine, and he could my best friendfor ten years. Our families could be very,very close; and this entire time he wouldnever know that I’m soliciting informa-tion for another country.”

With the type of information gainedin the second incident at OPM, adversar-ies and criminals can infiltrate a target’ssocial connections through access to per-sonal information about their lives, in-cluding names, mailing addresses, emailaddresses, phone numbers and other PII(personally identifiable information).

Possible tactics include, but are notlimited to, receiving friend requests from‘cloned’ accounts (people you may knowwho have had their identity stolen on so-cial media), and receiving false calls oremails claiming to be from official sourcessuch as OPM.

Concerning the OPM incidents, as aDepartment of Defense employee andsomeone who knows operational securi-ty, Magdalenski said he’s going to assumethat if hackers wanted his information,they would already have it. Despite the as-sumption, however, he said precautionsshould always be taken to protect PII.

“So the breach is just one part of this,”he continued. “What do you do with allthat information - four million or 20 mil-lion people’s personal information? Youcan do a lot of things.

“One of the things is social engineeringfor MORE information. They already havesome specifics; people need to be awareof things out of the ordinary like emailsfrom people they don’t know and ‘toogood to be true’ kind of emails.

“These tips are things we’ve been ad-vising for years. It doesn’t matter if yourinformation has been compromised. Wealways teach, ‘If you don’t know someoneor you’re not expecting an email fromthem, delete it.’’

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Po-lice and Morale Welfare and Recreation(MWR) are sponsoring the installation’sfirst ‘National Night Out’ Aug. 7, an eventdesigned to build positive rapport betweencommunities and the police forces thatserve them, and spread awareness aboutcrime prevention programs.

Activities are scheduled from 4 to 8 p.m.in the parking lot and grassy areas adjacentto Slip Inn.

Nationally, the event has been sponsoredby the National Association of Town Watchand held annually since 1984 in cities acrossthe United States and Canada.

“The event is meant to increase aware-ness about police programs in communi-ties, such as drug prevention, town watch,neighborhood watch, and other anti-crimeefforts. The set date is actually August 4, butI made the decision to push it to a Friday somost people on JBAB could attend,” said Sgt.Bianca Burgos, crime prevention officer forthe JBAB Police Department. “It’s an eventwhere your localized police department isputting on sort of a block party. There aredifferent ways you can do it. A lot of depart-ments either do a block party, a barbeque,or hold an event where they can meet with

the community and get more involved withthe community in a fun way.”

In coordination with JBAB’s NationalNight Out, the Slip Inn is holding Crabfest.

Crab dinners and the restaurant’s regularmenu items will be available for purchase.JBAB Police and MWR will also have pop-corn, drinks and candy available to attend-ees, according to Burgos.

Anyone with base access is welcome toattend JBAB’s National Night Out whichwill include recreational activities such as amoon bounce, a rock climbing wall, a dunktank and face painting, as well as informa-tive pieces to include K-9 demonstrationsand a weapons display.

Burgos said that the idea to host JBAB’sfirst National Night Out came after she wasnamed as the new crime prevention pro-gram officer for the police department.

“When I took over the program it was justsomething I brought up and I looked into itand I said ‘This is one ofmymain goals whileI’m in this position,’” said Burgos.

She said she hopes to achieve a lot ofpositive police-community relationships byallowing the community to get to know theJBAB police officers who are on the base’sroads and gates.

“Basically I want us to just build a great,professional relationship with the commu-nity, get our department out there and let[the community] know we’re here to helpand keep JBAB safe,” Burgos said.
