Federal personnel chief: ‘I don’t believe anyone is personally responsible’ for Chinese hack
Washington Post ^ | June 23, 2015 | Lisa Rein

The federal personnel chief said Tuesday that she does not believe “anyone is personally responsible” for the massive hack of federal employee data and security clearance files and instead blamed the breach on old computer systems and the hackers themselves.

“We have legacy systems that are very old,” Katherine Archuleta, director of the Office of Personnel Management, told Senate lawmakers at a hearing on the intrusion. “It’s an enterprise-wide problem. I don’t believe anyone is personally responsible.”

Oh my! Why would we ever expect a government employee to take responsibility for their responsibilities. That’s racist at the very least and probably illegal.

It was a coordinated attack using multiple zero-day exploits (holes in code not yet known by the target). You have to pay tons of money or infiltrate security firms to get such info.

A nation-state with vast resources will eventually break into ANY system as long as a data link to the internet exists. And even without a link to the internet, there are more than enough spies to infiltrate isolated networks.

So what do we do? It’s not like we can go back to the days of paper files...

If a ship goes down, the captain is blamed.
If a battle is lost, the general is blamed.
If a corporation goes bankrupt, the CEO is blamed.
If a government entity responsible for protecting the American workers personnel files is hacked, no one is to blame........................

If you focused on your original mission statement and ignored all of the social engineering efforts, you’d have time and money for current systems and effective employees.

“She’s fat and ugly. But no one is personally responsible for that.”

Someone who doesn’t take care of themselves, is often a poor employee!

Well, not letting Termites like Eddy Thnowden and Bwadley Manning into the woodwork might be a start. Who vetted those two - and how many other treasonous pinktard punks are still operating undetected?

Yeah, but she’d still get a ribbon for wobbling across the finish line of any NEA-sanctioned race in last place.

Everybody gets a NEA ribbon, for failing because that’s what they teach: FAILure.

From each according to their ability...
