in District Of Columbia.
An investigation that was launched in response to the 2009 breach of the Federal
Aviation Administrations computer system (see Feb. 9, 2009, entry) was released
June 26, 2010. The findings reveal that the names addresses, Social Security numbers,
medical data and other personal information of airmen are still vulnerable and that
serious security lapses exist.NOTE(12/2/2010): This entry has been updated to correct
an error. Prior to December 2, 2010, this entry erroneously implied that a new breach
had occurred involving 3 million records. We apologize for our mistake.Information
