The first reports of the massive penetration of Office of Personnel Management files and security clearance applications apparently by Chinese hackers most likely working for, or with, that countrys military intelligence apparatus included grumbles from the affected employees that the administration didnt handle the situation very well.
Those early grumbles were but the snap responses of a few individual employees the media chose at random. Now that the millions of people potentially affected by the hack have been given a few days to digest the news and consider the Administrations response, their attitude has soured into what government employees described to BuzzFeed as collective panic.
It is interesting that the mainstream press has not exerted itself to collect a wide range of responses. Usually theyre all about the human-interest angle. Every news organization could easily talk to dozens, or hundreds, of federal employees and produce a piece like BuzzFeeds, but they have not.
Tellingly, only former government employees jeopardized by the hack were willing to go on the record with BuzzFeed. Current employees insisted on remaining anonymous.

Same here.
So they expect BO to do something to his primary source of funds? Fat chance!
Gaffer, I don’t believe that at all. I’m a current Fed and former contractor and I’d almost guarantee that all of our info has been compromised...again.
Their M.O.
Obama wrecked American espionage.
The doctor that gave us bin Laden is still in a Pakistani jail. We haven't done a thing for him.
People notice little things like that...
So am I and I was just telling you what my organization told me via email just yesterday. There’s no way in hell I believe it.
It’s just 0bama’s transparency at work.
The CIA does not use OPM. They do not trust any other agency with their personnel records.
I know. I’m pretty sure I got the same email. Not good.
Years ago that was the reason they wouldn't give security clearance to gays.
Just the other day I saw a picture on the internet of a group of men from the State Department who were celebrating their gayness. I wondered at the time why they were publicizing it. By making it public information they can't be blackmailed. About being gay anyway.
The records most likely go back to WWII.........................
Good, you morons have been peeking into our records, auditing us, monitoring OUR phone calls for political purposes, while Al Quaida runs amok.
IIRC...
Wasn’t Bammy making fed job applicants give up their social media user ID’s and passwords?
Or, was that just to work in his campaign or any of his “support” organizations (OFA, etc.)?
Lots of good blackmail material
its always “chinese” hackers or “russian” hackers...
it was a romainian hacker who caught hillary with her private e-mail server...
how do we know a hack took place and how do they know who it is if they cant stop them during the hack.....
besides the duqu kernal is built in so why the need to “hack”
with most computers made in china dont you think they implant SPY/HACK malware built in to the f***ing stuff from the get go..
AGAIN....... BELEIVE NOT A THING THAT COMES OUT OF THIS ADMINISTRATION and you wont be far off the mark.
They got the security clearance applications, so if you applied or have a security clearance, they got you.
Utterly transparent to China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, ISIS, Pakistan...
All that application stuff in SF 86s was automated several years ago. Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy....they have it all.
You can protect the President and senior officials, but if the people who provide them with data and see to it that their orders get communicated, suddenly all decide they have to go into hiding, leaving empty offices, how well will things function?
Is anyone in the IT Security department being held accountable? Just how do they justify retaining their positions? Is incompetence a qualifier for working in the Fed government? Enquiring minds want to know.
