Every Police Officer Has Been Hacked
Original: “I’ll Be Watching You”: The OPM Data Breaches, FBI Data Breach, and a Hit Song from The Police
The personal data of every single one of the roughly 700,000 US federal employees and contractors investigated by the Office of Personnel Management was stolen in the 2015 breaches. Combined with the separate FBI-related breach, the theft exposed the security clearance files of millions of current and former officials, including agents and spies. Reports framed the episode with The Police's 'Every Breath You Take' as a bitter irony about surveillance data falling into hostile hands.
Why now: Commentary drawing parallels between a classic surveillance-themed hit song and massive US government data breaches is resonating amid ongoing concerns over cybersecurity and espionage.
