The form even asks for specifics on relatives and &#8220;people who know you well.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The broadening scope of the hack comes as little surprise, as investigators found early evidence that intruders attempted to breach other federal networks using the same attack. However, the large number of people affected and the highly sensitive nature of the data included in this second breach makes this a significant event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
