Federal Workers Notified After SRA Virus Breach

,----[ Quote ]
| Employees at federal security agencies are being notified that their personal 
| information may have been compromised after hackers planted a virus on 
| computer networks of government contractor SRA International.  
| 
| SRA began notifying employees and all of its customers after discovering the 
| breach recently, company spokeswoman Sheila Blackwell said Tuesday. The 
| malicious software may have allowed hackers to get access to data maintained 
| by SRA, including "employee names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates 
| of birth and health care provider information," the company said in a 
| notification posted at the Maryland Attorney General's Web site.
