Hackers Stole Secrets of U.S. Government Workers’ Sex Lives
Daily Beast ^ | June 24, 2015 | Shane Harris

Infidelity. Sexual fetishes. Drug abuse. Crushing debt. They’re the most intimate secrets of U.S. government workers. And now they’re in the hands of foreign hackers.

It was already being described as the worst hack of the U.S. government in history. And it just got much worse.

A senior U.S. official has confirmed that foreign hackers compromised the intimate personal details of an untold number of government workers. Likely included in the hackers’ haul: information about workers’ sexual partners, drug and alcohol abuse, debts, gambling compulsions, marital troubles, and any criminal activity.

Those details, which are now presumed to be in the hands of Chinese spies, are found in the so-called “adjudication information” that U.S. investigators compile on government employees and contractors who are applying for security clearances. The exposure suggests that the massive computer breach at the Office of Personnel Management is more significant and potentially damaging to national security than officials have previously said.

You Freepers don't need to worry ... cause the Chinese will never blackmail fine democrats like the Royal Idiot ... the World's Smartest Woman ... Miss Lube Rack Pelosi ... Dirty Harry Reid ... Fauxahontis ... and other fine democrats ... cause they've never had any sexual partners, abused drugs and alcohol, failed to pay their debts, gambled, had marital troubles, took bribes, or been involved in any criminal activity!

This proves that the hack was done by a large state rather than some rogue hackers.

Only a massive super-conputer run by a large country would be big enough to store such a huge volume of information.

If they had only stolen "good" information, such as taxes paid and donations to charities by government workers, then only a tiny computer would be required.

Hackers Stole Secrets of U.S. Government Workers’ Sex Lives

This begs several questions:

1. Why does the government have records on government employees' sex lives?

2. If the employees have dirt or kinkiness in their sex lives, why were they hired to begin with? (Possibly a pool of candidates for Bubba Klinton?). This sort of thing used to disqualify individuals, because it made them susceptible to coercion and blackmail.

Sorry. I’m confused. I thought this was an article about the SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare.

HAHAHA!!! I love it. Play with fire (in this case, work for the jackboots) and you’re gonna get burned! I feel for the military folks who had their info compromised. They are more or less stuck. But anyone that willingly, voluntarily supports this regime by choosing to work for them and further the ideals of this tyrannical regime? Lol. Go pi$$ in the wind. You’re getting what you deserve.

I don’t think anyone is blackmailable any more. Perversions are resume enhancers.

Should have hacked into Bill Clinton’s information... his sexual adventures might have been more interesting.

Not meaning to be contrary, but why are government employees sex lives kept on government computers?

Am I missing something?

Obama already did this, he clearly has something on Roberts and the GOP leaders. Afterall, Hastert was blackmailed, I’m sure current leaders are being blackmailed as we speak.

Probably from using their government email accounts, unlike Hillary. I wonder if China can provide the Lois Lerner emails.

Think of it as a Sears Catalog or Yellow pages. Wanna bang someone? Look up their prefs and remind them.

You've just created a new genre of joke to replace the blank book ones.

Out with the old:

Wit and Wisdom by Joe Biden
Patriotic Acts by Barack Hussein Obama
My State Department's Record of Accomplishments by Hillary Clinton

In with the new:

Memory Requirements (in Megabytes) for:
Constitutional Decisions by SCOTUS: 0.0001
Truths Bill Clinton Told: 0.00001
Boehner's Conservative Record: 0.000001
