Hackers stole $35,000 from two dozen users of the Thrift Savings Plan
(TSP), a retirement savings and investment plan for federal employees.

In late December, the computers of several TSP participants were infected
with keylogging software that allowed criminals to record all keystrokes
made by participants without their knowledge. The hackers also retrieved
the customers' TSP personal identification number and other account
information, according to a statement on the TSP Web site. However, the
TSP's system was not breached, the company said.
