Last week’s disclosure of a massive data breach at the Office of Personnel Management has officials in Washington reeling. We know the outlines of the episode: Up to 4 million federal employees, current and retired, could be affected. The theft occurred in December but wasn’t reported until last week. Cybersecurity expert Rodney Joffe, a senior vice president and fellow at Neustar, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to offer a long-term perspective. He says the nature of the data taken means some people will have to worry for the rest of their lives.
