Army National Guard Infosec Failure Exposed 850K Service Members’ Info

The Army National Guard has exposed the personal information of more than 850,000 current and former members, by improperly handling a data transfer.

The servicemen and women may have had their names, home addresses, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth exposed when that data was transferred to a non-Department of Defense-accredited data center by a contract employee as part of a budget analysis.
