Fox News<\/a> reports that the Office of Personnel Management has admitted that hackers have stolen the personally identifiable information (PII) of more than 18 million people. But, don’t worry, the OPM director, Katherine Archuleta, says that her agency is not to blame;<\/p>\n

Grilled on whether anyone takes responsibility, Archuleta said only the perpetrators should be blamed — she said current failures result from decades of meager investment in security systems, but said changes are being made and in fact helped detect the latest breaches. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, it would be the bank robbers’ fault if they went in the bank and stolen money, but it’s the banker’s fault that the money is stolen if the banker starts storing the money on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

The Office of Personnel Management initially estimated about 4 million current and former government workers were affected by one of the hacks. But Fox News is told by multiple sources that lawmakers have been informed the number will grow to at least 18 million — and could, according to one source, soar to as high as 30 million. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I had to put the information of my family on the application for my security clearance, so I can see how the numbers would balloon. I guess no one in this administration is responsible for anything anymore. <\/p>\n

Their contractor can go pound sand, too. I’m not putting my PII on another website for someone to lose. Lifelock tells me that they’ll do the same thing to monitor my information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
