Пентагоны ажилтнуудын мэдээллийн санд гарсан зөвшөөрөлгүй нэвтрэлтийн улмаас цэргийн алба хаагчид болон тэдний гэр бүлийнхний эмзэг мэдээлэл алдагдсан байна.
АНУ-ын Батлан хамгаалах яамны Батлан хамгаалах хүний нөөцийн мэдээллийн төвийн (DMDC) системд 2025 оны аравдугаар сараас 2026 оны долдугаар сарын хооронд халдлага гарчээ. Үүний улмаас 2.76 сая амьд болон 294 мянган нас барсан иргэний хувийн мэдээлэл, тэр дундаа нийгмийн даатгалын дугаар, цэргийн албан тушаал, мэргэжлийн онцлогтой холбоотой өгөгдөл задарсан байна.
DMDC нь идэвхтэй алба хааж буй болон бэлтгэл цэргүүд, иргэний ажилтнууд, гэрээт ажилтнууд, ахмад дайчид болон тэдний гэр бүлийн гишүүд зэрэг 60 сая гаруй хүний бүртгэлийг хариуцдаг. Аюулгүй байдлын цоорхойг илрүүлсний дараа системийг засварласан боловч зөвшөөрөлгүй нэвтрэлт есөн сар үргэлжилсэн байна. Пентагон уг хэргийн талаар албан ёсоор мэдэгдэл хийгээгүй бөгөөд хохирогчдод зээлийн хяналтын үйлчилгээг нэг жилийн турш үнэ төлбөргүй ашиглах боломжийг олгожээ.
Үүнтэй зэрэгцэн Холбооны мөрдөх товчоо (FBI) ажилд зуучлах цахим хуудсанд нь гарсан халдлагын асуудлыг шалгаж байна. “ShinyHunters” нэртэй хакеруудын бүлэг FBI-ийн ажилтнууд болон тэдний гэр бүлийн гишүүдийн мэдээллийг хулгайлснаа мэдэгдсэн юм. Тус бүлэг нь санхүүгийн ашиг сонирхол бус, харин FBI-аас гаргасан кибер аюулгүй байдлын зөвлөмжийг эсэргүүцэн ийм үйлдэл хийсэн гэж мэдэгджээ.

Social Security numbers and military job details were among the records accessed, according to US defense officials
A Pentagon personnel system breach has reportedly exposed sensitive data on more than three million people, including military personnel and their families, several media outlets have reported, citing US defense officials. The disclosure follows a separate breach of the FBI’s jobs website.
The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) system was reportedly accessed by a small number of unauthorized users between October 2025 and July 2026, affecting some 2.76 million living people and another 294,000 who are deceased, unidentified Pentagon officials have told CNN and ABC News.
According to them, the exposed files include Social Security numbers and other personal details, as well as information about military jobs and occupational specialties.
DMDC maintains more than 60 million records overall, including on active-duty and reserve troops, civilian employees, contractors, retirees, veterans, and military family members.
The leak was initially reported by the Military Times last week citing an internal breach notice received by one of the affected individuals. The publication said two unnamed defense officials had confirmed the authenticity of the letter.
According to the notice, DMDC said that a “security vulnerability” in a file-sharing system allowed unauthorized users to gain access to unencrypted personal information. The system was said to have been patched “immediately” after it was discovered – nearly nine months after the unauthorized access began.
The notice offered affected individuals a year of free credit monitoring services.
However, the Pentagon has not yet officially confirmed the breach, nor commented on who was behind the intrusion or what they did with the information they accessed.
Meanwhile, the FBI is dealing with an unrelated breach claim involving its recruitment website. Last week, the hacking group ShinyHunters claimed it had stolen personal data on nearly all FBI agents, their spouses, and job applicants.
The group said that the attack was “not financially motivated” and instead of a ransom, demanded that the FBI remove a cybersecurity advisory published in May that ShinyHunters says contains false allegations about them.
The FBI has said it is investigating and has notified employees, but has not yet established where the breach occurred or confirmed the scale of the theft.
