Daily Cyber News: Pentagon personnel breach exposes data tied to more than 3 million

Unauthorized users accessed a file-sharing server for roughly nine months, from October 2025 until the issue was discovered on July 16th, 2026. The files contained unencrypted personal information.
Key context: That long access window creates uncertainty about how the information may have been used.
