I had wondered if CIA employees were included and just what information OPM has about them.

It isn’t just the agency employees and government personnel. All the normal experts and people they might use to collect and assess information all over the world are now potentially outed, solely because they have a clearance.

I remember back in the early 80’s that the Soviets were able to identify all CIA operatives in the field simply because their paychecks and retirement plans were different than regular Fed employees.......................

Yes Obummer, It happened on your watch.

this hack constitutes a disaster for Washington's counterintelligence operatives.

HA! Good. They don't like it when THEY get spied on, but it's perfectly ok when it's the American public that's getting spied on. Sorry, but this could not have happened to a more deserving bunch of folks. I hope it ruins many of them.

Having all your computers networked and linked to the internet is asking for trouble.

The people in charge of our security couldn’t run a store loss prevention department successfully.

There are no doubt plenty of smart dedicated good people in the government but the important policies are dictated by political hacks.

I’ve seen it in businesses time and time again;the person in charge supposedly doesn’t need to know or understand the processes that make the business work,just manage the people who do. And when it all blows up ,it is seldom the top managers’ fault but some lowly worker is blamed.

we are so screwed

What all you Shadenfreude out there don’t get is that this will rain down on everyone through terror strikes on US soil.

MOST TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION EVER!

Utterly transparent to China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, ISIS, Pakistan...

Now for all those that went online and fed the Obamacare exchange all their personal info...Do you feel safe now?

[9YearLurker]

Along with all the damage to our programs, how many lives are now at risk?

Now why would there ever be such records wired into a network at all? The easy way to keep them totally secure is to have them transmitted only by request, with a person moving individual files across a physical barrier by flash drive.

Why is it Free Traders never show up on these types of threads?

Well, Raymond Reddington can't fix this one, but on the upside he can't make it any worse.

[ForYourChildren]

This is actually because of Hilary’s server. But they can’t blame it on that. So they have found another patsy.

The problem is that not only does China have this information, so do the Russians. That compramises all of our operations in both E. Asia and E. Europe, as well as the middle east if they share this info with Iran.

The foreign exchange student is secretly pleased about all this. It makes the destruction of the nation he despises easier and quicker.

With the entire central socialist government full of either conspiracy agents or mental defectives, our demise is made much simpler.

[trebb]

Kind of ironic that the same government that wants to collect all that data "and only use it "if circumstances warrant") can't protect any of its data and has basically collected a huge pool of data that may be accessed by our foreign enemies (not to be confused with our own public servantsenemies). It looks like all the security lapses for the Obama Care "system" was just a small look into the overall lousy security posture.

[A CA Guy]

Let me guess, China is not as stupid and doesn’t connect personal government employee records to the net?
