Weird, China hacks OPM computers, gets sensitive information on federal workers, military, federal law enforcement. Now, we are talking hacking the system of a federal agency, not a political party. Yet, I don't recall neocons talking about China as our enemy and sanctions, Fox News running anti-China propaganda 24/7, McCain and Graham calling for war, etc.

Chinese and Russians have hacked State and Pentagon computers, but no big deal. Its all part of the Great Game.

But stealing Podesta’s password! That’s war!

AC beach Patrol is correct.

It was a complete “ho-hum, where’s the sports section?” from all the fools in DC.

Yes, I was impacted. All but my fingerprints were hacked, and all my OPM data back to 1980, too.

Oh, but now, the RUSSIANS! ... blah, blah, blah my arse!

Now, that was a real hack! Chinese breach data of 4 million federal workers:

I don’t remember McAinal his best girl friend Linda and their altar boy Ryan wanting to go to war against the Chicoms.

Nor do I remember Obozo sending ChiCom spies, er embassy people packing.

You cannot expect our leaders to do anything about Americans being hacked, that privilege is reserved for Marxist party leaders only, not the dirty working-class.

Silly peons...

And don’t forget the China hack of the USS Reagan and the California conviction of Su Bin who hacked defense contractors for the Chinese military.

Can we pay the Chinese to fire some of our government workers or dock their pay?

The best part is that there’s only 3 million actual current and former federal government employees.

Again? Didn’t OPM learn ANYTHING about security the last time they were hacked by the Chinese? Last time I think it was their ENTIRE personnel background investigation data.

How do you spell incompetence? G O V E R N M E N T

I have already been notified by OPM, DHS, Blue Cross, my bank and several other institutions that their computers containing my info was compromised by the Chi-Coms.

They pretty much have all my data now. I guess as long as I keep buying their junk from Home Depo they will leave me alone.

Does that mean they gleaned PASSWORDS of everyone in the data base? Can they impersonate federal workers to glean top secret data?

The Chinese have done this since Obama took office. Never once have I heard Obama say he was going to retaliate against the Chinese.

This and the DNC “hacks” were inside jobs. Just like with Benghazi, the peons are expendable. The only actions taken by the powers-that-be is when their own are harmed, even when they are doing something far more fraudulent and illegal, whether there is proof of the harm or not. To hell with anyone else.

The Chinese government has sponsored far more intrusions and theft and there is nothing from Obama. Calls for war against Russia for supposedly stealing and releasing actual, truthful e-mails but the Chinese just flat out steal a Navy drone and what happens? Crickets.

So can we get these ChiCom hackers to do something of value...

...like finding Barry's college admission records, transcripts and "brilliant", scholarly writings...?

Hackers working for the Chinese state breached the computer system of the Office of Personnel Management... about 4 million current and former federal employees that their personal data may have been compromised.

Since this story can't be used to hurt Trump - AND it might make Obama look incompetent - it doesn't have legs. AND the 'press' won't give a damn about it. (We've broken the MSM code)
