The Office of Personnel Management announced Wednesday that the number of people whose fingerprints were stolen in a major breach first announced this summer has jumped to 5.6 million, more than five times the number the agency first reported.
The announcement comes on the second day of a visit to the United States by Chinese president Xi Jinping, who is due to meet with President Obama Friday in Washington amid a backdrop of accusations by U.S. officials of Chinese hacks of American government and businesses computers.
American officials this summer said China is responsible for the OPM breach, though China denied involvement.
