There is a
report today on CyberWarNews that there was an attack on a TWIC web site (twicinformation.tsa.dhs.gov)
operated by Lockheed Martin Corporation that compromised a database and may
have resulted in a release of personal information of TWIC applicants.
According to data provided
by OZ Data Centa on the reported data dump was 9.82 KB so it isn’t a really
large data compromise, but the information may be useful for more than just the
normal identity theft; it may compromise TWICs.
As I noted on a comment posted to Homeland Security Today
group on LinkedIn, it will be interesting to see how long it takes TSA to
notify TWIC holders of the potential personal information data compromise.
