Celebrity passport applications breach

Issue No. 1 | January 01-15, 2012

A US Government passport office employee was arrested for using her computer passport security privileges to gain access to the confidential passport data and passport applications of over 100 celebrities and their families.

What was at first thought to be a passport security breach of 100 or so celebrity passports has now turned into a breach of over 500 confidential passport application files of famous Americans. The former passport employee, Brooke E. Reyna, a 28-year-old woman from Barrington, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty in federal court to making false statements.

The passport investigation began when it was determined that the passports of then-presidential candidates Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain had been accessed.

Reyna was formerly employed at the National Passport Center in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and it determined that is the location where the celebrity passport security breaches took place.
