1500 employees had names, DBO, SSN and security classification info  
revealed.

"The data theft occurred in a computer system at a service center  
belonging to the National Nuclear Security Administration in  
Albuquerque, N.M. The file contained information about contract  
workers throughout the agency's nuclear weapons complex, a department  
spokesman said.

NNSA Administrator Linton Brooks told a House hearing that he learned  
of the security break late last September, but did not inform Energy  
Secretary Samuel Bodman about it. The theft had occurred earlier in  
the month.

Bodman first learned of the theft two days ago, according to his  
spokesman.
[...]
Brooks acknowledged that no attempt was made to notify the  
individuals until now. He declined to elaborate because of security  
concerns, but indicated he could tell the lawmakers more in the  
closed session."
