Well, it's not enough that SAIC has allowed my medical information to be compromised twiced, now I learn that OPM itself was hacked followed by USIS, (who did my last periodic reinvestigation), and hey, why not another although I don't think KeyPoint had anything to do with my stuff.

I suppose credit monitoring could be an issue but much more important is that with this level of personal information on people it seriously exposes them to subversion attempts. Just knowing who has a clearance and access allows enemies to make attempts to turn good guys into bad guys. It's really easier then you might think if you have a skilled agent after you.
