An Office of Personnel Management investigative official said Tuesday the agency entrusted with millions of personnel records has a history of failing to meet basic computer network security requirements.

Michael Esser, assistant inspector general for audit, said in testimony prepared for delivery that for years many of the people running the agency's information technology had no IT background.

Well, well, well. People with no IT background were running the agency's information technology.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!

"In a second attack, which the Obama administration acknowledged on Friday after downplaying the possibility for days, the cyberspies got detailed background information on millions of military, intelligence and other personnel who have been investigated for security clearances. Together, the hacks compromised the records of as many as 18 million people."

But we KNEW it would be much more than 4 million people. The first number the government releases when they screw up is always false.

Why have an IT security department if they are incomprtent and unaccountable. Make work for losers???
