“More than ten years after the OPM data breach exposed the personal information of millions of federal employees, the threat remains,” Warner said in the statement. The two breaches compromised information belonging to some 22.1 million current, former and prospective federal employees, contractors and others. “This legislation will ensure those affected continue to receive the identity protection they need, while helping better safeguard personal information from future exploitation.” Norton has introduced legislation in the past seeking lifetime protection for OPM victims, beginning after the breaches were disclosed. “Because there is no limit on how long personal information can be exploited, Congress must protect these federal employees and contractors in perpetuity.
