The United States is pulling spies from China as a result of a cyberattack that compromised the personal data of 21.5 million government workers, a U.S. official said Tuesday.
The U.S. suspects that Chinese hackers were behind the breach at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, which exposed the fingerprints of 5.6 million government employees.

Once again Zero's administration faces zero accountability from the MSM.
China is our preferred trading partner. We love them and they love us. Their slave labor makes all the garbage we need to consume. We threw Taiwan under the bus to have China. Surely this report can’t be true.
China hacks the US & we respond by pulling our spies outta China?
I wonder if Barack got 'em out before telegraphing the Chinese?
If the Chinese did not agree to let them leave, they would not be coming out.
Nothing to be confused about: Puppet’s a puss, government employees are ‘useful idiots’ and digital is wide open.
A brilliant caper obfuscates the intent of the crime.
I suspected they were on a fishing expedition; this reinforces it. If it’s digital, it’s vulnerable. If you have something someone wants and it’s digital, there’s really no protecting it.
‘Electronic’ medical records (EMR)...what a joke (on us). The ‘cloud’, too.
A CHinese government hacker has accomplished what all their counterspies couldn’t do or could only do slowly one at at a time.
The damage this POS has done to our country may be irreparable...
The phrase "dead drop" comes to mind.
What are our real spies doing in government data bases?
Here’s an idea , tell Obama to stop giving government user names and passwords to the Chinese
This was no hack - the US government contracted with a company that had workers physically located in China and Argentina. Not hard to take data when one has root access, given to them by our government. This info has been out for three months, but the media sure isn’t reporting it.
I know, we are supposed to send MORE spies instead of lessening.
Precisely. No need to send tech & info to our enemies...
...just make it available on a server with a convenient user vulnerability (bathroom server?).
Globalism is accomplished via making it easy to steal our tech & info as well as the other methods...
unmentioned........ what has America learned from hacking chinese military systems?
