NextGov: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation misled its congressional overseers about the seriousness of eight information security breaches during late 2015 and early 2016, according to an inspector general report and congressional letter released Friday.
The breaches all stemmed from employees who left the FDIC during that period and improperly took information with them, according to the report. Seven of the employees took personally identifiable information, including Social Security numbers. The eighth took sensitive information about financial institutions.
In total, the breaches affected more than 10,000 individuals or records, the report found.
