SF86 Data Captured In OPM Hack

Etherwalk writes: The security clearance process in the United States includes filling out the 127-page SF86 form, which includes things like the citizenships of all your relatives and housemates, foreign contacts and financial interests, foreign travel, psychological and emotional health, illegal drug use, and many other matters. The recent breach by the Chinese Government apparently included that information for all executive employees up to cabinet level. It's pretty much a gold mine for intelligence work and social engineering of any kind.

Democrats in general and Obama particularly have already demonstrated that they think the primary purpose of security is to CYA. They don't take national security seriously. A Republican president would have been more likely to have at least attempted to keep such information out of enemy hands.
