[..]

The information was for work being done in connection with TRICARE, the 
health benefits program for the uniformed services, retirees and their 
families. The server was not behind a firewall and did not contain 
adequate password protections, which is in violation of SAIC policy. SAIC 
stopped using this server when security concerns were raised.

So the information was on an FTP server, not protected by firewall, and 
had inadequate passwords. Combine with that the fact they notified 580,000 
people and this doesn't sound like the information "may" have been 
compromised...
