The massive hack last year of the Office of Personnel Management's system containing security clearance information affected 21.5 million people, including current and former employees, contractors and their families and friends, officials said Thursday.
That is in addition to a separate hack – also last year — of OPM's personnel database that affected 4.2 million people. That number was previously announced.

Update: Office of Personnel Management Director Katherine Archuleta finally resigned mid-Friday.
