Personal data of 45,000 US federal workers at risk after KeyPoint breach

The computers of a company conducting background checks for the US government have been breached by hackers, putting the personal data of around 45,000 federal employees at risk of exposure. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) was forced to alert tens of thousands of federal workers across the country after KeyPoint  Government Solutions was hacked, an email from OPM Chief Information Officer Donna Seymour obtained by Nextgov said.
KeyPoint is a top provider of security-clearance background investigations and screening services for the US Government, operating in all 50 states.
