Data breach exposes Energy Department's 'continuing story of negligence'U.S. Department of Energy claims no classified info was stolen by hackers, just personal data belonging to employees

In a letter to employees and contractors sent out last Friday, the Department of Energy said it would notify individuals whose sensitive information had been stolen to help protect them from identity theft. The letter also said the department was "leading an aggressive effort to reduce the likelihood of these events occurring again."
The prospect of the DOE being hit with an APT is particularly troubling, considering it oversees the National Nuclear Security Administration, which manages the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile.
