Federal Aviation Administration had a data breach in 2010, 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 [source].
