Really, did the AWAN clan skip the country?

I missed that news report.

Yep, they got outta Dodge.

I’m looking for the report; I think it was on the Weekly Dose thread here @ FR.

Gee! What could go wrong when the ITs, who did this could be Jihadists?

The central IT staffer said any suggestion that the brothers’ access didn’t span the full gamut of congressional intrigue was silly because they were the ones giving out permissions.

“When a new Member begins, they guide them on everything from which computer system to purchase to which constituent management system to go with and all other related hardware purchases. Then they install everything and set up all the accounts AND grant all the required permissions and restrictions,” the staffer said.

“In effect, they are given administrative control of the Members’ computer operations. They then set up a remote access so they can connect from wherever they are and have full access to everything on the Member’s system.”

Besides the terrible human cost of the loss of these warriors, there is a very high $ cost:

May 11, 2016 - It is estimated to cost $350,000 to $500,000 to train a single Navy SEAL. To keep a single Navy SEAL operational and deploy able overseas it costs some where around 1,000,000 per year. Training SOF soldiers is highly worth every penny but only so many can be trained per year.

By having total access to members' emails, there's also the problem that these hacking scumbags had access to hundreds of Social Security numbers....and info on dozens of US agencies....including the IRS.

REALITY CHECK --- When a constituent contacts their Rep w/ a problem, the member needs to have their Social Security number as their ID in order to navigate US govt agencies.

The Awans struck a goldmine---selling these numbers to refugees.

==================================

HIT BACK HARD---Constituents who had their privacy invaded have a good case against the irresponsible Democrat members.
