Senator: SEAL Team 6 At Risk After OPM Hack

John Boozman says breaches targeted ‘most sensitive information’

Sen. John Boozman (R., Ark.) said personal information on the Navy’s most elite special operations team could be in the hands of America’s adversaries following the cyber attack on the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

Boozman told a gathering of reporters in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that the attacks, suspected to have originated from China, targeted the “most sensitive information we have.”

“The breach there was really staggering, this magnitude some of the most sensitive information,” Boozman said. “A lot of people when you fill out a form to get a top security clearance, you’re talking about a 120 plus page form.”

and the OPM head was trying to stay after her gross negligence revealed this.
If something happens to SEAL tem, that former OPM head should be arrested and charged for criminal negligence.

I don’t see a correlation. OPM doesn’t handle military personnel information. They deal with civil service.

Maybe OPM “hack” is just the tip of how bad info was compromised, and the only bad news the public is allowed to know.

Personnel administered by OPM (FBI etc) did background investigations but I think the branch of service gets the results.

Background checks on civilians reside in the OPM database.

There are SEALs above 6 that work out of DC.

Hope they are not compromised. They do very special things...

It wasn't a "hack". Red Chinese computer experts had been granted root access to this material in the OPM contract and were being paid to do it. All they needed to do was access, download it, and give it to the PLA. Easy-Peazy.

Among other things, everyone in our military has been totally compromised including the Special Ops people. It makes it a piece of cake for an enemy to come in here and "mop up" when the time comes.

And here is the bonus that no one is talking about: plausible deniability for our beloved oligarchs. Now anyone who is...irritating... to the powers that be can have their credit ruined, their personal peccadilloes exposed, and all the powers that be need to do is shrug their shoulders and say “musta been those rascals who stole that data.”

They didn’t originate in China. They originated in DC and were stolen by insiders.

Homeland inSecurity takes such great care of us. Open computers like open borders. And Americans are classified as the terrorists...by DOD, too.

Why hasn’t some rich conservative purchased Baraq and Hillary’s dossiers from the ChiComs?

I’m sure it would be interesting.

Because they are loving every minute of the destruction of the USA. Why would they want them out by providing the info?
