Passing on an update I received in an email today:

Subject: Phishing Threat Advisory Against DoD Personnel - OPM data Loss

In the wake of the recent OPM data breach, US Army CID states a phishing email is being sent to DOD personnel asking them to click on hyperlinks and enter a personal PIN number to verify their Personal Information. This is a Phishing Attack!

A new phishing attack has surfaced that attempts to draw the attention of recipients with the subject line "Important Message from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management CIO", with the sender appearing to be OPM CIO. Users are actually directed to a fake website and asked to enter private information.

Be cautious, and never click on links in suspicious email you receive.

Additional info per OPM:

Were members of the military affected by the breach?

This incident did not affect military records. No contractors were affected unless they previously held Federal civilian positions. The incident affected current and former Federal civilian personnel, including Department of Defense civilian employees.

How long will it take to inform all the potential victims involved in the incident?

OPM will begin conducting notifications to affected individuals using email and/or USPS First Class mail on June 8, 2015 and will continue notifications on a rolling basis through June 19, 2015.

Can my family members also receive services if they are part of my file/records?
