It has, unfortunately, an important characteristic: it is unchangeable. And 5.6 million of those unchangeable traces have been stolen in the United States.
The OPM, Office Personal Management, an agency within the US government that is primarily responsible for the management and administration of human resources within it. Yesterday, he admitted that after the massive violation of their servers in a computer attack, 5.6 million fingerprints of federal government employees had been compromised.
OPM still checking the extent of the damage, but the data involved, among which are the footprints, affecting a total of 21.5 million employees.
Some of the prints belong to senior American government. Since April, the OPM has tried to minimize with the public the real impact of the attack, a strategy that ultimately lead to the resignation of the director of the agency, Katherine Archuleta. In addition to fingerprints, important information in the attack was also obtained as social security numbers of those 21.5 million employees and access to various forms SF-86. The SF-86 form is to fill some American officials and includes confidential information such as substance abuse in the past or extramarital affairs
