Pentagon breach releases data of 3M individuals
The Pentagon's Defense Manpower Data Center experienced a security breach that exposed personal information of approximately 2.76 million active and 294,000 deceased individuals connected to the military. Unauthorized access occurred between October 2025 and July 2026, with sensitive data such as Social Security numbers, names, birth dates, contact details, and military records potentially compromised. Notifications are being sent to affected individuals, offering free credit monitoring, identity restoration, and guidance on protecting themselves from potential identity theft or fraud. Officials have no current evidence of misuse but warn that stolen information can pose long-term risks.
