I would keep an eye on your credit in the near future. More then likely the Chinese were targeting people the security clearances though from reading the article. I'll let you know if they pass anything down to us.

She got an email this am. Said if her name was involved she would get 4 free months of monitoring.

What do you think of something like lifelock? I'm absolutely ignorant about stuff like this.

I'm driving right now or else or dig it up but the owner of life lock had his identity stolen. So I'd say its a gimmick.

I guess I was lucky because I got 12 months when my info was compromised.

The Obama administration is scrambling to assess the impact of a massive data breach involving the agency that handles security clearances and US government employee records, with suspicion quickly falling on China, which has been accused of carrying out cyber-espionage against the US in the past.

Government officials familiar with the situation told the Associated Press the hack occurred at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Interior Department, and could potentially affect four million people at every federal agency.

The OPM is the human resources department for the federal government and does checks for security clearances.
