WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the government's personnel office has resigned in the wake of a massive data breach on her watch.
A White House official says President Barack Obama accepted the resignation of Office of Personnel Management Director Katherine Archuleta on Friday morning. She'll stay on the job through the end of the day.
The official says deputy director Beth Cobert will become acting director starting Saturday.

WTH is so important about St. Louis? Is McDonnell Douglas still in business? Is this a center for aero/avionics technology? St. Louis is getting barraged with attacks!
Amazing.
At least now we know what they were after in St. Louis. And they got it.
The bots are still doing their job.
Wow! I skimmed an article earlier today in which she said she has not intention of stepping down.
Putting on my tinfoil hat here:
What if this was done deliberately so that when the Soros Administration dips into the savings accounts, retirement accounts, etc. of retired federal workers our overlords can say that it was those darn Chinese?
That’s a man, baby!
But everything we do is still hooked up to the internet, isn’t it. This weakness will never be corrected. There is no desire to correct it. Just like the VA will never be corrected. Our enemies will continue to exploit us and we will never do anything to stop it.
not = no
“What if this was done deliberately so that when the Soros Administration dips into the savings accounts, retirement accounts, etc. of retired federal workers our overlords can say that it was those darn Chinese?”
That’s not so crazy. We’re being conditioned to suspect China and Russia each time there is a cyber attack. One day, when the dollar crashes, China and Russia will be easy to point at.
Gee! What a surprise? Another upward moving affirmative action appointee failing in their job!
Speaking of affirmative action appointees, why hasn’t the affirmative action president been fired yet.
Seeing the competency level of the minions 0bama filled his Cabinet with, he would have done better to go to Goodwill and hire a couple dozen retards from the back room. At least their errors would be purely accidental.
Someone somewhere in America took responsibility for something?
Wow. I was sure nobody ever was held to account for anything ever. See Hillary.
I’m wondering the same thing
Drained to oblivion but that is a pipe dream.
We are kidding ourselves to think we are actually going to generate enough rage to actually do something.
We are going to sit here and whimper and gripe until they come for us. Sure, we may pull our guns but we will be wiped out just the same.
They are all political HACKS...
Bull dyke
Yeah, probably run by the same morons that couldn’t stop the hacks in the first place.
This is at least the second time OPM has been compromised in the last 12 months.
They are now going offline for the next 4-6 weeks, all background investigations are on hold.
This is another healthcare.gov fiasco
Told all my reserve folks this morning that we were going back to SF86 from e-QIP. Fortunately (or tragically), it probably won’t slow things down significantly!
Glad I don’t have to go through the process again until 2019
They might have it fixed by then.
The hacks in St. Louis are labeled “milgov”, which leads me to think there are government military records there, and that is what the hackers are after.
I believe St. Louis still is the repository for US Army records—remember the fire back in the 1970s that destroyed a lot of veteran’s service records?
Yesterday, a poster remarked here that the NSA had a big facility in St. Louis. Another target if that is so.
