A new scandal is unfolding in the US: hackers breached the Pentagon, and it looks serious

Attackers gained access to a Pentagon database containing the personal information of more than 3 million military personnel, veterans, department employees, contractors, and their family members.

ABC News reports this, citing a US Department of Defense representative.

The unauthorized access was first detected in October 2025. The vulnerability was only fixed on July 16, 2026.

This is at least the third major data breach in the US over the past month. At the end of August, a service called Nexus appeared on a Russian-language cybercrime forum, whose owners claimed to have millions of American driver’s licenses, documents, and medical records.
