PURPOSE

The NRC is issuing this information notice to provide information that was transmitted to the

Administration.

DESCRIPTION OF CIRCUMSTANCES

The NRC was informed by ISOO that through the course of the ongoing investigation into the 

intrusion affecting the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) systems, it was recently 

discovered that additional systems were compromised. These systems included those that 

contain information related to the background investigations of current, former, and prospective 

Federal government employees, as well as other individuals for whom a Federal background 

investigation was conducted.

DISCUSSION

The ISOO notice provides current updates from OPM on their recent data breaches. This notice 

is advisory in that it provides the most up-to-date information on these intrusion incidents and 

their impact on industry. This notice may be found in NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System under Accession No. ML15169A363.
