The latest update from “M” on the OPM breach dated July 15, notes that “The State Department never transferred personnel records to the OPM facility. However, if you had other U.S. Government service prior to joining State, you may have had records that were involved.” On the background information breach, it says that “State Department employees’ SF-85 and SF-86 forms (depending on the appointment) were in the OPM system and thus were impacted. However, other background investigation material was not.”
If you have additional questions email DG DIRECT [DGDIRECT@STATE.GOV] or OPM’s new email: cybersecurity@opm.gov
AFSA’s latest update to its membership is dated July 10 and available to read here.

Reading between the lines, OPM didn’t have data breach insurance. Do all fed agencies self-insure for cyber? http://t.co/SnmPpj4uCe
