Government Executive: Federal employees and other victims of the hacks of data maintained by the Office of Personnel Management may still receive more expansive or longer protection, according to the head of the company currently providing those services.
The 21.5 million victims of the breach of information collected during background investigations of potential, current and former security clearance holders are now eligible for up to 10 years of identity theft protection and credit monitoring services. OPM originally offered three years and up to $1 million in identity theft protection, but an agency spokesman said Wednesday OPM is currently “taking steps” to expand that program for 10 years and up to $5 million as directed by Congress last year.
