Hackers get personal info of people with clearance?

The intrusion at the Office of Personnel Management was particularly disturbing because it oversees a system called e-QIP, in which federal employees applying for security clearances enter their most personal information, including financial data. Federal employees who have had security clearances for some time are often required to update their personal information through the website.
Damn. That's pretty serious given the amount of info they store on people with serious clearance.
