The problem is no system, no matter how robust, can withstand attacks from within, or negligence, or failure to safeguard the info.

The OPM “hack” for example, wasn’t a hack.

The previous administration outsourced database management to this highly sensitive data to a foreign government, including root access.

Consequently tens of millions of government employees and foreign assets, past and present, to include their fingerprints, security questionaire and background investigation, next of kin, addresses phone #s, everything is presumably in the wrong hands.

Further they also had the ability to add or modify information or individuals undetected. A background check on that person in the future would show a clean individual when in fact he may be a spy or operative. Congress hauled some flunkie before them and yelled at her for an hour or two and that was the last anybody brought it up.

Oh - they signed everybody up for Lifelock or credit protection or some BS like that.

F these people. I hope they die in a fire.
