Office of Personnel Management IT Was Running Out of… China

The government is focused on more important things, like what woman is going on the $10 bill.

I honestly believe that we must memorialize the most incompetent administration in U.S. history. We also need a candidate for a related ode to incompetence: a woman to put on the $10 bill. This woman must be neck and neck with Lois Lerner as the ideal candidate.

A twofer...

Allowing Obama to remain as President is a National Security travesty at this point. Since he is still there, we have to assume there is no longer a US Government.

This is the third time in the last 14 years I have read via media reporting that my identity/personal information/DOD service records, etc have been “hacked” by parties unknown.

At no point have the Feds ever attempted to contact me directly, to notify me of their devastating screw ups.

I tend to feel slightly nauseated whenever someone thanks me for my service.

What did you expect? You have a Muslim in the White House, his chief advisor is Iranian, enemies in the State Department, Queers running the Military and Commies half filling both chambers of Congress.

Let's face it. We haven't had a China cautions POTUS since Reagan. Each one to follow after Reagan seemed to put China's interest first. With a good portion of congress in their pockets we've been had. But hey at least it's Bipartisan Treason... /sarcasm

ALL of your credit card information is in foreign hands. There isn’t a credit card company in the US that doesn’t use foreign customer service, software development, or other computer based systems where all of your information is in foreign hands, unprotected.

So is all of your cable, phone, SiriusXM, and other accounts.

We give companies our information expecting them to protect it, yet, read the fine print of all your contracts. You ain’t protected.

The OPM data breach has massive implications no one is discussing.

Economic threat this creates:

China has around 1.3 Trillion of US bonds. Imagine they ask for payment.
Or they demand submission regarding a political matter, be it a trade treaty or territory.
Next with the personal info for 4 million gov employees,
they activate a dozen credit cards for each of them.
Credit monitoring is overwhelmed. Banking comes to a hault.
China is holding the US by the throat economically.

Politically and strategically:

Imagine they want information on any group or program in the government. They know who has clearance, all of their personal information, their family’s information, incriminating information in the SF86 form.
Whether it is blackmailing a general to alter the course of a war or threatening to leak embarrassing information on any contractor with a clearance to get more data, now they have the ultimate weapon to pull the strings at almost every level of the government, including defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Northrup Grumman.

It’s what happens when you outsource security.

But think of all the money we saved!

Seriously though, a few months ago I had to log on to OPM's website for the 10-year renewal of my military security clearance. It was 20-some pages long and I had to provide mountains of personal information. I have no doubt it has all been compromised.

I had postulated that the breach was done in America by H1B visa holders from China.

But apparently they didn’t even have to come here.

We sent all the data there.

Active Duty ping.

Many, if not most, of the people (directly) harmed by this are Democrats. There are going to be many bewildered people...

[PghBaldy]

You are right.

[freeonefrom]

I think O is assisting with this so later our enemies will have the info and make it easier for them to create a panic and declare martial law.

We are already dead.
