Personal information of almost 40k Marines made public by accident
May 24, 2023
The personal identifiable information of approximately 39,000 Marines, sailors, and Defense Department civilians was inadvertently leaked by a US Marine Corps unit, according to defense sources.
The majority of those affected are assigned to the I Marine Expeditionary Force, USMC officials confirmed.
“At this time there is no indication that any PII [personal identifiable information] has reached anywhere other than official government channels,” I MEF spokesman 2nd Lt. Sean Waterman, told Task & Purpose. “To be clear, nothing was hacked.”
On May 9, Combat Logistics Regiment 17 sent an email to 250 Defense Travel System travel administrators.
