This should be fun.
Active Duty ping.
Just so we’re clear, this wasn’t ‘China’. Or ‘Russia’.
This was a domestic collection for political extortion down the road; Hillary’s 900 FBI files on steroids.
Not that you should expect that to come out at ‘trial’.

It should be criminal not civil. Nothing but pure incompetence. Remote access to a level 1 system, no use of dual factor authentication. No web front end sitting in a DMZ and appropriate network infrastructure/firewalls blocking access to the backend database. No IDS/IPS, no monitoring, no auditing. Faking or ignoring a C&A audit.
My security+ cert tell me that is ought to be a criminal matter.
Let me guess - they’re trying to get free LifeLock or some sort of credit monitoring for life, for all federal employees.
It might not be a bad idea - they have a history of being lax with data and this has the potential to cause a lot of grief. I was notified that i "may have been one of those with data that was compromised" and they gave me 18 months of monitoring.
Was never part of the union but this time they are likely correct.
Great, we as taxpayers pay for an incompetent federal OPM then again for them to defend themselves.
