    Wondering how the recently uncovered hack covering personal information from millions of government employees could be worse? We now have our answer, as sources have told the Associated Press and other outlets that in another breach, hackers accessed data from security clearance checks for military and intelligence personnel. Called Section Form 86, you can see what's covered right here (PDF). Its 127 pages cover personal data like your name and Social Security Number (and the name and SSN of the person you live with), then dive deeper into your family history, where you've lived, who you know, how regularly you drink, any loans you have, if you've ever been treated for mental illness, etc.
