Going back to what year? And which cut-rate, ineffectual identity theft firm will they be using?
Makes you wonder how many other federal agencies have been hacked, but have yet to discover it. Probably all of them.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group!
“OPM”, otherwise affectionately (and appropriately) known as “Other People’s Money”.
Care to reassess your statement? We're being told that over 4 million were affected. As of 2014, There were 4.1 million "federal employees", of which nearly 1.6 million are our armed forces.
Or, it is indeed known. But the powers that be have not decided how to tell, or welled-up the necessary courage to tell, the entire feral government's employees that their personal data has been breached.
Our morning paper had an article suggesting 1985 and that it could effect 18 million people. The article also mentioned that OPM failed a network security audit over a year ago and did nothing.
CSID is the credit monitoring firm.
At least with the hacker you know their intent, not so with the Gov......, I'm so relieved that the IRS is managing our files and Obamacrap, not to worry everything is under control./s
Rated at 1.6 vs. 9.9 for LegalShield’s IDShield, but it is “cheaper. LOL
Which is what’s going to pay for the repairs for all the federal employees affected. Snicker away, we’re paying the bill...
“Couldnt happen to a more deserving group!”
I fear you paint with a very broad brush there my friend. Is it that you believe all government employees are useless and deserve to possibly have their private lives and finances etc. disrupted? ..... Just curious.
I believe that anyone that participates in this administration, be it by being a federal employee or contractor, gets exactly what they deserve. I have ZERO sympathy for anyone willing to consent to the tyranny by being a direct part of it.
No doubt the data was exfiltrated via the personal email server of a former Secretary of State that was compromised by more than a few Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and being used as part of one o more of their poisoned Domain Name Server (DNS), Command and Control (C&C) network.
Presidents come and go. Military and civilian workers don't change with the administration. I went in the military under Reagan, and got out under Clinton. Would you blame me for supporting Clinton?
Same goes for civilians. Not all federal civilians support the current administration.
Sorry if it offends; but we've both been around this board a long time. Just snickering past the graveyard, my friend; for surely we are very nearly there.
As you know, it's only billions of OPM we are talking about here; and, as you also know, a few billion here and a few $$$billion$$$ there, and pretty soon you're talking about some real money.
Here, have a Snickers; you're just not yourself when you're hungry :)
I am a retired Civil Servant and you are disgusting.

YOU are one SHORT-SIGHTED Piece of Feces!
Actually I’m far sighted. Hafta wear glasses because of it. But thanks for playing! I know y’all are up in arms over this, but there’s no denying: YOU DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN SOMETHING YOU DISAGREE WITH, especially when the fate of our Nation is at stake. The ONLY acceptable response, or participation, in this current administration would be what it takes to forcefully remove the traitors and jail them. That is it. OTHERWISE, your participation is consent.
