Plame’s covert identity was blown in 2003 by journalist Robert Novak, using information leaked by aides to George W. Bush. Given that history, she’s particularly concerned about the recently disclosed breaches of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)--even if that’s been eclipsed this week by the more salacious-sounding hacker attack on Ashley Madison, the website for people seeking extramarital affairs.

That paragraph is so mendacious and ludicrous I'm flabbergasted.

“The information that is held there is very sensitive. It’s not just federal employee applicants and employees--it’s their spouses, their family, their neighbors, their landlords. So this is a gold mine for those who would want to target federal employees.” The U.S. government has decided not to publicly assign blame for the attack, although top intelligence officials had previously called China “the leading suspect.”

Blame for the attack? From what I understand, the OPM under Archuleta outsourced sys admin to a Chinese firm, giving them root access. In other words, they didn't even need to overcome firewalls, access control lists, and a lot of safety measures, they already had access level clearance to step through all those protections. Of course, what does one expect when a political hack is given her reward of a sinceure in the administration?

As for Valerie Plame, her 15 minutes expired long, long ago.

Hay Val.

Tell us about your role in Operation Merlin where B Clinton “accidently” provided the Iranians with the plans for a nuclear triggering device.

>>“What happened with OPM is jaw-dropping in terms of its implications,” she says.

Evidently the cultural worship of the emperor’s new Buzzword and Bullshyte adorned cyber-underoos isn’t as effective at securing data as it is in securing L.I.F.E.R. expectations.

Plame was never an under cover field agent. She was a CT, desk jobber, and she let anyone in the DC area or ?? know that she worked for the CIA.

When real agents get exposed, they and their family are in real danger.

Her biggest danger was a bad hair day before whining on left wing tv, ABCNNBCBS that she had been exposed as an agent or getting a paper cut:

Interview of Plame [whose hubby was involved in the Alamoudi thang- how’s THAT for security?] :

EnterpriseTech: What role can government play in helping private industry protect itself (as well as employees, customers, partners, suppliers, etc.)?

Plame: The Internet has gone from novelty, to entertainment, to serving as big business and national infrastructure. The government should be looking to fund the creation of a patrolled, secured, and truly protected, publicly accessible Internet infrastructure. This is no different than providing national security in the physical world. There will always be Internet off-roads that are wild and unprotected, but there needs to be an option for commercial and government systems to exist in a truly safeguarded environment.
