Pentagon Recordkeeping Unit Alerts 3 Million After 10-Month Data Breach

A Pentagon recordkeeping unit has begun notifying roughly 3 million people that their personal data was exposed in a breach that went undetected for about 10 months. The long duration of the intrusion and the scale of those affected are drawing attention to vulnerabilities in how defense-related records are secured, with questions mounting over what information was taken and why the compromise persisted so long before discovery.

Why now: The sheer scale of the breach and the unusually long 10-month detection gap are raising fresh concerns about cybersecurity at defense-related agencies.
