WASHINGTON — The Defense Department will start late this month to notify 21.5 million people whose background investigation files were hacked by the Chinese that they can sign up for protections under a $133 million contract announced this week.
The contractor, Identity Theft Guard Solutions, will have a sweeping mandate to monitor the hacked security clearance data, some of the most sensitive in the government, for identity theft. It will help protect the identities and credit ratings of the breach victims for three years and possibly longer, offering theft insurance and experts who specialize in restoring stolen identities, officials said.
