WASHINGTON --A hacker stole a file containing the names and Social
Security numbers of 1,500 people working for the Energy Department's
nuclear weapons agency.
But in the incident last September, somewhat similar to recent problems
at the Veterans Affairs Department, senior department officials were
told only two days ago, officials told a congressional hearing Friday.
None of the victims was notified, they said.
The data theft occurred in a computer system at a service center
belonging to the National Nuclear Security Administration in
Albuquerque, N.M. The file contained information about contract workers
throughout the agency's nuclear weapons complex, a department spokesman
said.
