More Than 22 Million People's Data Compromised By OPM Hack
OutOnARock writes with news that the Office of Personnel Management data breach reported earlier this month was actually far worse than earlier estimates had it; in all, it seems that more than 22 million people (not all of them government employees) had personal information compromised by the breach. From Yahoo News's coverage: That number is more than five times larger than what the Office of Personnel Management announced a month ago when first acknowledging a major breach had occurred. At the time, OPM only disclosed that the personnel records of 4.2 million current and former federal employees had been compromised.
22 million government workers get hacked probably because some anus site got SQL injected.
The NSA spends no time auditing it's own systems to protect American citizens, and All of it's time spying on Americans and "terrorists"
If the NSA's mission is to truely defend America, how come sensitive government systems are still prone to SQL injection?
Let this all sink in.
That will happen. It is only a matter of time.
You don't need to be in love to get married. There's no requirement to prove love. Long term cohabitiating couples, homo or hetero don't need government validation of their relationships.
This is about recognition for benefits and property rights, though the latter was often done by homosexual couples through LLCs for joint property.
Bring back the old version of slashdot.
OPM is pretty legendary in federal circles as basically the sort of federal agency that inspired the bureaucrat jokes on Futurama. The only way to "reform" them is to just scuttle the agency and transfer its functions to the various departments. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence should get the investigators and that authority. Civil service management should be a per-department issue. Managing retirees' benefits could easily just be contracted out to whatever private companies already manage the asset pool of the pension funds. The federal retirees I know would love to deal with a bank rather than OPM. Why? A bank would actually give a shit about processing their communications in a timely fashion.
