Good lord. CNET News.com has this story.

Add the U.S. Department of Energy to the list of federal agencies beset by theft of their employees' personal data in recent months.

Officials appearing before Congress on Friday went public for the first time about a hacking incident from last September that resulted in the theft of the names, birth dates and Social Security numbers of 1,500 people working for its nuclear security division, the Associated Press reported. The data was reportedly housed on computers at a New Mexico site.
