FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Officials say a possible data breach may have
compromised the personal information of more than 500 employees of a
Virginia police department.

Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin Roessler Jr. told the Washington
Post that he doesn't have any reports that officers' personal
information has been exploited.

But the chief says he is concerned after learning that officers'
names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers may have been
compromised by the potential breach at a neighboring police
department.

Roessler says the data was on a missing memory stick that contained
the email inbox of the Purcellville police chief. Roessler said it
wasn't clear if there was a reason for the data to be in the other
chief's email or if Fairfax County also had a data breach.
