When the leadership is pretending men are women expect this kind of stuff.
This is a data breach regardless of what anyone else says. This is so not good.
It seems like we handled classified material better in our day.
Part of the problem is that they classify just about everything, anymore, evidently... even inter-office memoranda.
oh, dont blow this out of proportion. Its not like this breach changed the outcome of a presidential election...
Spy balloons are so 19th century. We have Google to help China vacuum up all the intel they need. Who knows, even today’s launch codes!
And the process is to take all the computers attached to that net, purge/wipe them, and give them back to the users.
No uploading of backups (they might be corrupted, too).
Or so I have heard.
My career Navy dad had a top-secret clearance (I know, everyone has one today) because one of his specialties was communications.
When he got his clearance back in the early Fifties, they sent agents to his small home town to interview people about him.
Pretty sure they don’t do that now.
“they sent agents to his small home town to interview people about him.
Pretty sure they don’t do that now.”
Depends on the level of clearance, but yes, they still do.
That’s good to know…thanks for that info!
You have to wonder-they still have those security clearances for Swalwell after his trysts with Fang Fang… How good can that process be?
"In 2015, suspected Chinese hackers stole millions of sensitive background check files of government employees who sought security clearance in a data breach at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management."
Agreed on all counts. As I have posted previously, during NYE Y2K, ABC had this long montage of famous people and their predictions for the New Century.
Kissinger was dead sober and said, "I fear the Balkanization of America." Whatever anyone thinks of Henry, that was the only prediction from that night that has bloomed into stink flowers.
It might very well be buried within this hour-plus YouTube video, if anyone wants to burn an hour.
Yep, makes me wonder if we can survive at all.
Industrial grade stupid is running the entire government. Every department and agency.
Just to install Windows 10/11 you are requested to set a password. There are several steps to bypass and one is to not be on the internet.
I would think a military server would not allow any bypass.
When they’re giving clearances to CNN News desk, then you just know the system’s broke.
Boy, no kidding there!
“How good can that process be?”
I suppose with all the investigations they have to do with so many people working for the government, they probably cut some corners.
That’s gotta be true.
The whole security clearance thing is weird to me, the way certain people get to keep it, and they cash in on it in the civilian world. You take away their clearance (and some of them sure merit that) and you are taking the food out of their mouths.
I can’t imagine how this could have happened.
