A woman stealing personal identifying information from more than 2,000 Freddie Mac employees and affiliates was sentenced to prison last month. Between 2012 and 2014, Allise Jones, a 29-year- old from Maryland with no known ties to the company, conspired with others to use personal information about current and former employees of the GSE. Freddie was advised in August 2016 by law enforcement authorities that personal information of up to 2,500 employees may have been accessible to several unauthorized persons in April 2013, according to a spokesperson for Freddie. The Department of Justice announced that a federal jury convicted Jones in February and on May 19 sentenced her to 5.5 years in prison.
