Is “Chinese” the new nickname for the Democratic National Committee?

Not the first time this administration has stabbed America in the back but the absolute worst yet. Irreparable. Absolutely JV, the kind of JV they make fun of in crap movies. Only this is for keeps and a gift that will keep on giving to our enemies (this admin and foreign) for long, long time. Total incompetence. Unbelievable idiocy. We have to take better care of basic unsensitive data where I work than these flaming morons did with personal data from millions of people’s lives. And they think “we’re sorry, we’ll provide some credit monitoring for awhile” will cover their butts.

Thanks Hillary. You know they got in through Hillary's server. Guccifer got Blumenthal's emails. . What did the Chinese get? . and the Russians, . . and God only knows who else. . ask any IT guy their opinion. . the few I've talked with say that's probably what happened. . More IT and hacker types comments: Hillary's Server Conundrum: Is it going away?

I gotta laugh at this one. . . tinfoil hat time. . but then again,. . . did Hillary have her DNC hackers do it? . . Through Her Server! . . lots of information there for 'later use' . . I put nothing past the Clintons. . . or the Obamas. . 'The end justifies the means' . .

Pray for America and prepare.

Yep. I get 1 year credit monitoring. My wife gets 90 days.

And the Chinese and everybody else, has my name, ssn, pay data, bank data, credit data, address, plus the phone numbers, addresses, names, of all I included on my SF-86 to renew my clearance.

The Russians are also likely to have this data and likely also participated in the hack.

I know.

Imagine a fighting war. I get deployed to Japan or Korea. Then my credit cards are maxed out by hackers. My wives credit cards and bank account are compromised. I get a call from my wife, in panic.

Now I have to go out and get my jets ready for the next mission.

Clearly, I will not be on my best game.

this is a joke kind of: is it possible for us American citizens to buy the info from China so WE can see what our own government is doing.

And this same government demands that all our medical records be electronic so government has direct access...

Incompetent to the core...

Yep. That form requires a lot of detailed information. It takes a lot of digging on one’s part to even fill it out. I don’t think it includes banking data, but I’m sure the other OPM breaches had plenty of that.

This is just another lesson in government ineptitude. Why do people want to keep handing more power over to a government that is clearly way too big? I don’t know. Yeah. Government will solve all our problems. Geesh!

I don't believe this was a "hack." I believe Obama deliberately gave our enemies this data.

It was deliberate.

Meanwhile, CNN has been covering the fake black woman yesterday like it was the Moon landing...

You and I are on the same page.

They knew over a year ago ISIS had info on people in the military.

ISIS didn’t get it all by themselves, someone gave it to them.

The Chinese would love to see the Clintons back in the WH.

If China is involved a Clinton can’t be far behind.

And this is the same country Obama and the GOPe want to do a secret trade deal with?

And some of that GOPe includes those running and we THOUGHT they had our backs (I won’t name them—you decide...)???

Are there no repercussions for China, like nixing the treaty?

At this stage, I wonder if filling out the credit monitoring service required information is, in itself, creating another confidential database that can be hacked.
