OPM acts to protect federal workers, others from cyber threats FROM DOD NEWS DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY

U.S. Office of Personnel Management officials announced July 9 the results of the interagency forensics investigation into a recent cyber incident involving federal background investigation data and the steps it is taking to protect those affected.

In late May, as a result of ongoing efforts to secure its systems, OPM discovered an incident affecting background investigation records of current, former and prospective federal employees and contractors, officials said.

The forensics investigation determined that the types of information in these records include identification details such as Social Security numbers; residency and educational history; employment history; information about immediate family and other personal and business acquaintances; health, criminal and financial history; and other details.

Some records also include findings from interviews conducted by background investigators and fingerprints. Usernames and passwords that background investigation applicants used to fill out their background investigation forms also were stolen.

21.5 Million Social Security Numbers Stolen Since learning of the incident affecting background investigation records, OPM and the interagency incident response team concluded that sensitive information, including the Social Security numbers of 21.5 million individuals, was stolen from the background investigation databases. This includes 19.7 million people who applied for a background investigation, and 1.8 million non-applicants, predominantly spouses or cohabitants of applicants, officials said.

There is no information at this time to suggest any misuse or further dissemination of the information that was stolen from OPM’s systems, they added.

“While background investigation records do contain some information regarding mental health and financial history provided by those that have applied for a security clearance and by individuals contacted during the background investigation, there is no evidence that separate systems that store information regarding the health, financial, payroll and retirement records of federal personnel were impacted by this incident,” OPM officials said in a news release.

Separate From Previous Incident This incident is separate, but related to, a previous incident discovered in April affecting personnel data for current and former federal employees officials said. OPM and its interagency partners concluded “with a high degree of confidence” that personnel data for 4.2 million individuals had been stolen, officials said.

“This number has not changed since it was announced by OPM in early June, and OPM has worked to notify all of these individuals and ensure that they are provided with the appropriate support and tools to protect their personal information,” the news release says.

Assistance for Those Affected To protect those affected, OPM is providing a comprehensive suite of monitoring and protection services for background investigation applicants and non-applicants

Why is “social engineering” so dangerous?

U.S. Office of Personnel Management officials announced July 9 the results of the interagency forensics investigation into a recent cyber incident involving federal background investigation data and the steps it is taking to protect those affected. The forensics investigation determined that the types of information in these records include identification details such as Social Security numbers; residency and educational history; employment history; information about immediate family and other personal and business acquaintances; health, criminal and financial history; and other details. whose Social Security numbers or other sensitive information were stolen.

For the 21.5 million background investigation applicants, spouses or cohabitants with Social Security numbers and other sensitive information that was stolen from OPM databases, OPM and the Defense Department will work with a private-sector firm specializing in credit and identity theft monitoring to provide services tailored to address potential risks created by this particular incident for at least three years, at no charge.

Notification Packages In the coming weeks, OPM will begin to send notification packages to these individuals, which will provide details on the incident and information on how to access these services. OPM also will provide educational materials and guidance to help them prevent identity theft, better secure their personal and work-related data, and become more generally informed about cyber threats and other risks presented by malicious actors.

Other individuals whose name, address, date of birth, or other similar information may have been listed on a background investigation form, but whose Social Security numbers are not included, could include immediate family members or other close contacts of the applicant.

In many cases, the information about these individuals is the same as information generally available in public forums, such as online directories or social media, and therefore the compromise of this information generally does not present the same level of risk of identity theft or other issues, officials said.

The notification package that will be sent to background investigation applicants will include detailed information that applicants can provide to people they may have listed on a background investigation form. This information will explain the types of data that may have been included on the form, best practices they can exercise to protect themselves, and the resources publicly available to address questions or concerns, officials said.

According to their website, one possible outcome of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) data breaches is the use of the information to engage in social engineering.

Jim Magdalenski, director of Naval OPSEC Support Team at Naval Information Operations Command in Norfolk, Virginia, agrees.

According to Magdalenski, social engineering is the process of someone soliciting information from another person over a period of time without the victim knowing what kind of information the perpetrator is looking for.

“If I wanted to learn more about you, about your job, about what you do and all of that sort of stuff, I would ‘social engineer’ you just by becoming your friend,” he explained.

As the director of a team specializing in OPSEC (operational security) and understanding the risks, Magdalenski can identify multiple ways in which people can be manipulated into giving information that can lead to personal, organizational, or national consequences.

“There was a gentleman who owned a restaurant near Fort Meade where some of the base employees were regulars. The man had gotten to know these customers, and he was there for years. No one knew that - literally for decades - he had been social engineering them and passing information back to his country,” Magdalenski noted.

He said social engineering can happen to anyone, including online.

“We had a case of two Sailors who were victims of ‘sextortion’,” he offered, “after they sent [private] photos to [people] they had never met in person, the perpetrators demanded money.”

What makes social engineering so effective, he emphasized, is not knowing what the person is after and failing to see their motivation until it’s too late.

“If I want to get close to you, I’m going to go online. I’m going to ‘like’ the things you like. I’m going to have similar hobbies to the ones you do because I’ve done my research. I will then start soliciting information from you.

“It’ll start out with the basic stuff, and then it’ll just progress from there until it gets bigger and bigger and bigger. That’s essentially what social engineering is.This is how some of our adversaries work - they gain trust over a period of time - and then they start working information.

New Resources OPM has launched a new, online incident resource center at https://www.opm. gov/cybersecurity to offer information regarding the OPM incidents as well as direct individuals to materials, training, and useful information on best practices to secure data, protect against identity theft, and stay safe online.

This resource site will be regularly updated with the most recent information about both the personnel records and background investigation incidents, responses to fre-

“If you’re a Boston Red Sox fan and I see that on your Facebook page, I would then friend you as a Boston Red Sox fan.

The next thing you know, I may show up at the same place where you like to go and watch the game, because you made that information available on your social networking site,” he said.

“The next target may be someone on a submarine, and he could my best friend for ten years. Our families could be very, very close; and this entire time he would never know that I’m soliciting information for another country.”

With the type of information gained in the second incident at OPM, adversaries and criminals can infiltrate a target’s social connections through access to personal information about their lives, including names, mailing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and other PII (personally identifiable information).

Possible tactics include, but are not limited to, receiving friend requests from ‘cloned’ accounts (people you may know who have had their identity stolen on social media), and receiving false calls or emails claiming to be from official sources such as OPM. Concerning the OPM incidents, as a Department of Defense employee and someone who knows operational security, Magdalenski said he’s going to assume that if hackers wanted his information, they would already have it. Despite the assumption, however, he said precautions should always be taken to protect PII. “So the breach is just one part of this,” he continued. “What do you do with all that information - four million or 20 million people’s personal information? You can do a lot of things.

“One of the things is social engineering for MORE information. They already have some specifics; people need to be aware of things out of the ordinary like emails from people they don’t know and ‘too good to be true’ kind of emails.

“These tips are things we’ve been advising for years. It doesn’t matter if your information has been compromised. We always teach, ‘If you don’t know someone or you’re not expecting an email from them, delete it.’’

For OPSEC tips, updates and other information from Magdalenski’s team, you can follow their Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/NavalOPSEC

quently asked questions, and tools that can help guard against emerging cyber threats, officials said. A call center will follow in the weeks to come, they added.

In June, OPM identified 15 new steps to improve security, leverage outside expertise, modernize its systems and ensure internal accountability in its cyber practices.

This includes completing deployment of two-factor “strong authentication” for all users, expanding continuous monitoring of its systems, and hiring a new cybersecurity advisor.

Bolling Family Housing hosts informational fair

BY MICHELLE L. GORDON JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

With military PCS season underway and new families arriving daily, Bolling Family Housing hosted a Community Informational Fair on July 14 to showcase base resources to new Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) families.

In addition to representatives from base housing, the fair also included personnel from JBAB Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR), the Military and Family Services Center (MFSC), JBAB Chapel, the school liaison office, JBAB security forces, public works and the fire department. All were onsite to answer questions, meet new and current residents, and distribute giveaways.

“Our main objective with hosting the fair [was] to provide our residents with easy access to information and resources available to them during their time at JBAB,” said Tamara Patrick, Bolling Family Housing community director. “It also helps to foster a sense of community amongst our residents, command and the various organizations.”

Although formally called an informational fair, the event included plenty of activities for JBAB kids, including bounce houses, face painting and balloon animals. Attendees also enjoyed snow cones, drinks and hot dogs provided by Bolling Family Housing.

The event was a huge success, said Patrick.

Through collaboration and partnership we were able to enhance the living experience of our service members and their families.

JBAB National Night Out: Aug. 7

BY LT. CMDR. JIM REMINGTON JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Police and Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR) are sponsoring the installation’s first ‘National Night Out’ Aug. 7, an event designed to build positive rapport between communities and the police forces that serve them, and spread awareness about crime prevention programs.

Activities are scheduled from 4 to 8 p.m. in the parking lot and grassy areas adjacent to Slip Inn. Nationally, the event has been sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and held annually since 1984 in cities across the United States and Canada.

“The event is meant to increase awareness about police programs in communities, such as drug prevention, town watch, neighborhood watch, and other anti-crime efforts. The set date is actually August 4, but I made the decision to push it to a Friday so most people on JBAB could attend,” said Sgt. Bianca Burgos, crime prevention officer for the JBAB Police Department. “It’s an event where your localized police department is putting on sort of a block party. There are different ways you can do it. A lot of departments either do a block party, a barbeque, or hold an event where they can meet with

1051055

the community and get more involved with the community in a fun way.”

In coordination with JBAB’s National Night Out, the Slip Inn is holding Crabfest.

Crab dinners and the restaurant’s regular menu items will be available for purchase.

JBAB Police and MWR will also have popcorn, drinks and candy available to attendees, according to Burgos.

Anyone with base access is welcome to attend JBAB’s National Night Out which will include recreational activities such as a moon bounce, a rock climbing wall, a dunk tank and face painting, as well as informative pieces to include K-9 demonstrations and a weapons display.

Burgos said that the idea to host JBAB’s first National Night Out came after she was named as the new crime prevention program officer for the police department.

“When I took over the program it was just something I brought up and I looked into it and I said ‘This is one of my main goals while I’m in this position,’” said Burgos.

She said she hopes to achieve a lot of positive police-community relationships by allowing the community to get to know the JBAB police officers who are on the base’s roads and gates.

“Basically I want us to just build a great, professional relationship with the community, get our department out there and let [the community] know we’re here to help and keep JBAB safe,” Burgos said.
