But some of this information is also publicly available from other sources, the sources pointed out. And the official database would not likely contain sensitive information of the sort that could influence a campaign-unless examiners had a question about the passport applicant or the authenticity of that person's documentation.
Because the unauthorized intrusions involved all three major presidential candidates, and involved employees at more than one contracting company, State Department investigators at this stage believe the incidents are the product of "curiosity" on the part of contractors' employees, rather than some kind of political dirty trick. At this point, investigators do not appear to believe that all the data intrusions were part of a single conspiracy, though they do not completely rule out a possible political connection to the incidents.
The State Department's inspector general has been asked to investigate the incidents. In addition to examining the reasons for the unauthorized data breaches, investigators are also trying to determine why State Department executives were not informed about the incidents before this week. A government official said that the intrusions, which were automatically flagged by security software embedded in the passport database, were reported to the chief of an office that supervises passport operations. But higher-ranking officials, ranging from the deputy assistant secretary of State who supervises passport operations to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice herself, were told nothing about the intrusions until after a Washington Times reporter began asking questions earlier this week.
