Hacker Steals Data of 33,000 Air Force Officers
Social Security numbers, birth dates and other private data on roughly 33,000 Air Force officers -- about half the branch's officer corps -- were stolen from a military computer database, the service told its personnel late last week. Officials of the Air Force Personnel Center said the intrusion occurred sometime in May or June, apparently by someone who used a legitimate user's log-in information to gain access to the system.
