A U.S. Defense Department agency that's responsible for providing secure communications and IT equipment for the president and other top government officials says a data breach of one of its systems may have exposed personal data, including Social Security numbers.
The Defense Information Systems Agency, or DISA, is issuing notification letters to individuals who may be affected. While Defense Department officials did not provide specifics about the data breach, such as when it happened or how many individuals may have been affected, the notification letter refers to a data breach of a system hosted by the agency.
