Chinese hackers stole over 70 million records of current/past military members from the Office of Management and Budget back in April of 2014.

I think you're thinking of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), not OMB (although I did just learn that the Trump administration proposed to merge parts of OPM into OMB).

But yeah, compared to that, sadly, this acquisition of much less detailed information about 30,000 service members seems moot.
