good news!
What’s the percentage of Obama voters in this group?
What percentage of the “panic”ed were responsible for the network security?
There are three aspects to this.
1. If you are a higher-range VIP with the State Department or CIA....doing anything related to China....you will eventually be targeted if you are inflexible in talks. They will sell your data to some kid in Vegas who will get you deep into ID-theft issues and you lose your clearance over this. I would expect a minimum of a two-dozen people a year to start discovering their career choice is ended.
2. For all these years...NO one wanted to fix ID theft. Face it....no one from the banking sector wants it fixed. You should ask why. No Senator cares....ask them why. Now? I think someone is going to wake up and demand ID-theft solutions asap.
3. Over the past decade....a lot of us who had clearances and did the stupid five-year updates and filled out the forms....continually asked how they protected the data we gave them. We got stupid answers. I remember how the dimwit answered my question in 2009....”we have a firewall”. Personally, I think we should now protect our own secrets better than we protect the government’s secrets. Give them as little as possible.
Another salient quote in the article:
Former NSA counterintelligence officer John R. Schindler, who previously advanced some valuable insights about the OPM hack on his own blog, wrote a hefty piece for the Daily Beast on Monday in which he argues Chinas hack just wrecked American espionage.
Didn’t Obama say his soul duty is to protect the American people?
Hmmm...culture of fear. Wonder how many stories will come out of the woodwork if a Republican wins the presidency and does a clean sweep of the appointees?
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

I’m a Federal Employee and the parent of two adopted Chinese children.
We had to supply everything but a DNA sample during the adoption process.
China already knows more about me than OPM does.
Their M.O.
It’s just 0bama’s transparency at work.
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.
This is sufficiently damaging, that it just might be something that Obama or his American hating functionaries wanted to happen, or even facilitated by not caring about security.
I suppose this now means obummer will now think he has to “negotiate” with the chicoms, just like he is doing with the Iranian terrorists. (SARC)
