Some of the Navy sailors and families whose personal data was
discovered last week on a civilian Web site had been affected by
Hurricane Katrina, the Navy said Monday.

Navy officials also said the names, birth dates and Social Security
numbers of more than 30,000 individuals had been disclosed — a bit
higher than the 28,000 estimated last Friday when the breach was first
revealed. The sailors involved were stationed in the Southern U.S.
during the hurricane.
