(update) Missing National Archives hard drive contained more data than previously estimated

Posted on January 27, 2010 by Dissent

The National Archives breach involving White House staff and visitors seems to be one of those breaches where after almost a year, estimates of number of people affected are still emerging and increasing. An article on Roll Call indicates that personal information on 250,000 Clinton administration staff and White House visitors sent to the National Archives was on a computer hard drive that disappeared nearly a year ago. Last month, the National Archives warned 150,000 people after initially warning 26,000.
