Lawmakers spring to save ID theft services for OPM breach victims, with expiration looming

Lawmakers are pushing to extend identity protection services for victims of the 2015 Office of Personnel Management (OPM) data breach, which affected 22.1 million people, as current coverage set to expire in September. The proposed RECOVER PII Act aims to provide lifetime identity protection for 4.2 million federal employees exposed in the breach, but faces challenges due to cost concerns and political dynamics.
