Over the past few years, the number of security incidents at federal agencies involving the potential exposure of personal information has skyrocketed -- from about 10,400 in 2009 to more than 25,500 in 2013, according to the Government Accountability Office.

There’s no data yet this year on the total number of breaches at agencies in 2014. But with the year almost in the rearview mirror, Nextgov takes a look back at the 10 most impactful, high-profile or otherwise eyebrow-raising federal agency breaches.

1. White House Hacked

The Obama administration has made cybersecurity a key priority, so it must have come as a slap in the face when intruders breached internal White House network this fall.

The Washington Post first reported the hack of the Executive Office of the President’s unclassified network in late October, after cyber teams working to mitigate the malicious activity were forced to take some services offline, including email. It’s unclear when officials first detected the breach or what type of information was compromised.

From FReeper hondact200 -

Please have the Sony hackers do the following:
Occidential University - Barry Soetoro's financial aid transcripts and college transcripts
Columbia University - financial aid transcripts and college transcripts.
Harvard University - financial aid transcripts and college transcripts
Illinois Bar Association - Barack Hussein Obama's application for the bar exam and the truthful reason for disbarment - is it based on his being involved in shady land deals in Georgia with one Michelle Robinson or is it his false statements on his application
a. failure to admit that he used illegal drugs - class 4 felony
b. never disclosed he has used another name
c. never disclosed the series of social security numbers that he has
d. failure to disclose that he had unpaid fines from Cambridge Massachusetts that he never paid until 2007.

If they are going to hack, do something worthwhile.

"Please have the Sony hackers do the following: Occidential University - Barry Soetoro's financial aid transcripts and college transcripts..." etc...

Americans have allowed their schools and churches to be turned against the values that have made this country strong; allowed their leaders to lead them into Socialism; today a person can make a comfortable living on the government giveaways than he/she can at honest work. Expose why this welfare system is meant to corrupt.....Barry Soetoro and his backers hoodwinked the nation like any Third World Thug...this new congress and senate MUST repeal Oabamacare and must repeal most of the Obama E.Os....and perhaps Trey Goudy would make a better speaker than the present one. NEVER, ELECT, a man or woman POTUS until they have been vetted...demand the highest character, integrity, and love of country. Who was responsible for this fraud???

.....those who paid for the propaganda against George Bush and are now telling you that Jeb Bush is the front runner for the GOP? Pure propaganda....Freepers should be among the most informed people in America.

Don’t worry about it. Obama gave a speech and promised the American people he would not rest blah blah blah...
