Family members were not affected, according to sources familiar with the investigation into the breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The breach \u2013 which occurred in December \u2013 also went undetected until April, when OPM upgraded its cybersecurity defenses and detected the incursion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b style=\"color: #333333;\">See also<\/b><span style=\"color: #333333;

title=\"http:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/story\/government\/cybersecurity\/2015\/06\/05\/opm-breach\/28558239\/\">Massive OPM data breach went undetected for months<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;As the keeper of sensitive data \u2014 including personally identifiable information for 32 million federal employees and retirees \u2014 OPM has a huge responsibility to maintain and consistently upgrade their cybersecurity controls,&#8221; the senators wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King and Warner wrote that while sequestration-level spending caps are complicating the current budgeting process the data breach illustrates how critical cybersecurity is for national defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding request would also finance a sustained security operations center to oversee OPM&#8217;s cybersecurity posture as well as real-time monitoring of its network servers to detect and respond to malicious activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;While OPM may need to revise their request further in light of the most recent attack, it is abundantly clear that technology and cyberattackers evolve in real time and the federal government needs more resources and budget certainty to keep their infrastructure current and strong.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two senators want Congress to authorize additional funding in fiscal 2016 so that OPM can finish making cyber
