Chinese breach data of 4 million federal workers (compare to Russians hacking)
Washington Post ^ | June 4, 2015 | Ellen Nakashima

Hackers working for the Chinese state breached the computer system of the Office of Personnel Management in December, U.S. officials said Thursday, and the agency will notify about 4 million current and former federal employees that their personal data may have been compromised.

The hack was the largest breach of federal employee data in recent years. It was the second major intrusion of the same agency by China in less than a year and the second significant foreign breach into U.S. government networks in recent months.Last year, Russia compromised White House and State Department e-mail systems in a campaign of cyber­espionage.

Does anyone remember this Chinese hack last year? Millions of government employee records were stolen.

Does anyone remember what Obama did about this? He threw a lavish dinner party for the president of China three months later. Despite the fact that China humiliated and stole from the United States, Obama groveled on his knees to invite the president of China to the White House.

"The president’s decision to give Xi the full-on pomp of a state dinner rankled some critics, including several GOP presidential candidates who said the Chinese were undeserving of such special treatment given recent behavior, including China's cyberspying in the U.S. and Beijing's territorial disputes in the Asian Pacific." http://tinyurl.com/jr3zwk4

So why post this year old story? If Obama is ok with China plundering government employee records, why is he so upset with Russia plundering government records. At this point Obama should be inviting Putin to a lavish White House party.

Could it be that Obama could not care less if the United States is damaged, but draws the line when the democrat party is damaged. In any case all this bs about going after Russia and retaliating is nonsense. It is a deflection designed to create a scapegoat and take the voters' minds off of Hillary crime syndicate.

If Obama acts like a doormat for the Chinese, he will act like a doormat for the Russians. Acting like a doormat is all Obama knows.

If Obama will grovel for the Chinese hackers, he will grovel for Putin.

____________

This is all theater designed to take voters’ eyes off of the Clinton scandals. Obama is doing nothing like he has never done anything.

Obama really acts like he thinks everyone is better than him, and ignores the ones who are.

= = = = = = = = = = = =

An apology to doormats is needed here.

A doormat provides a service.

BO does not.

Take away his money ‘give aways’ (well OUR money) and you have nothing...

Reminds me of the two mountain lions discussing their hunting methods.

The one said, I pick out a cowboy run up to him and give a might roar and he is ‘mine’.

The other replied, if you run up behind him and roar you just scare the ‘shiite’ out of him and all you are left with is a hat and a pair of boots.

BO definitely falls in the category of buying one for what he is worth then selling him for what he thinks he is worth.

We collectively must have done something to really weewee the ‘Gods’ off since he plagued us with 8 years of BO. Would like to say it can’t get worse but a few years of HRC may be the straw that ‘breaks the camels back’...

Undermining federal employees is a victory for the American people.
In general those that work for the government are miserable and dishonorable scum and it’s about time for some spot Judgement

It wasn’t a “hack” in the sense that the Chinese gained unauthorized access. The OPM actually HIRED a contractor who used people working “from home” in China to do remote system administration on its computers. The only unauthorized part was that the Chinese used their authorized access to make unauthorized copies of the personnel files.

The woman in charge of the Office of Personnel Management at the time, Kathryn Archuleta, had a bachelor's degree in elementary education, and a Master's in education.

Her qualifications were being the National Political Director for Obama's 2012 reelection campaign. Prior to that, she had been Executive Director of the National Hispanic Cultural Center Foundation in New Mexico, had co-founded the Latina Initiative, had worked at a Denver law firm, and had worked in the Clinton Administration as chief of staff to the Secretary of Transportation, Federico Peña.

An affirmative action political hack.

See, this is why we can't have nice things.
