The New York Times > National > Los Alamos Halts All of Its Classified Research After Data Vanishes

Bad news at Los Alamos. When all the facts are known, stringent and swift remedial actions will be necessary. My association with very smart people in an earlier life suggests they don't pay close attention to the security of their work, or worse, wish it were in the possession of others besides the US government to 'level the paying field.'
Good decision to put the management of the lab up for bid. Surprising that University of California seems incapable of managing professionally.
