The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has launched an online verification center to help individuals whose background investigation records were compromised as a result of the two separate but related cyberattack on OPM’s data files earlier this year. Specifically, the new online program is designed for:
• Individuals who believe their data was stolen but who have not received a notification letter; and
• Individuals who have received a notification letter but who have lost the Personal Identification Number (PIN) that was included in the letter.
The online verification center can be accessed through the OPM Cybersecurity Resource Center. Individuals may alternatively call the OPM verification center at 866-408-4555 or 503-597-7662 TTY for assistance.
