When Office of Personnel Management Director Katherine Archuleta testified in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week she said that the personnel records of about 4.2 million current and former federal employees had been “compromised” by a “cyber intrusion” into the OPM’s computer systems. […]

When Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz asked Archuleta whether this included the files on military and CIA personnel, Archuleta gave him an identical answer to each question.

“I would be glad to discuss that in a classified setting,” she said. …

That would be a “yes”.

“Hack” is a euphemism — and plausible deniability —
for the White Mosque’s: “Mission Accomplished”.

Oh, wow! You would not want them to know that they have what they have, now would you? Pretty obvious, they have everything that is in the OPM database.

[McGruff]

Chaffetz: Does it include anybody who's filled out SF-86, the Standard Form 86?

Archuleta: The individuals who have completed an SF-86 and may be included in that. We can provide additional information in a classified setting.

So anyone with a federal paycheck is getting a midnight phone call asking:

“Is you son Billy asleep in his bed? Is you wife Mary next to you?”

“If you want to keep them safe, then you must . . . “

Unfortunately, she represents a typical Fed employee quite well.

Sorry, not a white house op, as they would not need to hack.

And I’m still going to the mat on “this was not a Chinese hack, either”

[CivilWarBrewing]

Don't fall for the 'hack' BS. This DATA GIVEAWAY was 100% sanctioned by Valerie Jarrett and her inner circle of America-haters. Think of it as Snowden, the sequel. He wasn't acting alone either. Not for one second.

Handing America over to the United Nations requires weakening it first by undermining everything that makes us exceptional.

so I get a letter today telling me I got free ID protection for 18 months.
So being a stupid hacker I don’t wait 18 months and then have a ball,do I?

My employer sent out the "note" regarding OPM today. The SF86 and SF50 database were compromised. There is real concern that the data will be used as fodder for espionage and blackmail.

[CGASMIA68]

So ? for you.Because of direct deposit and my account# and routing# is on record somewhere what is the general consensus on closing existing account and opening a new.
I can find any info on that in the FAQ that came with the letter/
Amy thoughts?

[CGASMIA68]

“Any thoughts”,Lets leave Amy out of this

And Obama still has “full confidence” in her, affirming the theory that POTUS really doesn't care that the Chinese hit the mother lode of personal information, and they will have a very easy time recruiting new American turncoats.

In case you're wondering, we can thank former Transportation Secretary Frederico Pena for bringing Archuleta to Washington. She was a Democratic apparatchik in Colorado before joining the Clinton Administration as his Chief of Staff. Since then, she has bounced between cushy, political appointee jobs in Denver and D.C. Before getting the OPM job, she was a senior aide to Hilda Solis, the radical leftist who was Obama's first Labor Secretary. In other words, Archuleta couldn't manage a fart after a baked bean dinner, which made her the obvious choice to lead OPM. But she's more than competent enough to ignore numerous warnings about IT system vulnerability and let the Chinese steal whatever they need (nod, nod; wink, wink).
