That's the data from the OPM breach. Interesting.
- stonogo 11y agoThat's a pretty bold unsubstantiated claim you're making there.
- daveloyall 11y agoIt's purposefully exactly as bold and unsubstantiated as the claim vice makes. Ah, crap. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Personnel_Management_data_breach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Personnel_Management... says 18-21.5 million. I was way off. :(
- stonogo 11y agoIt's far more likely that many government contracts and departments have their team's qualifications on record due to government accountability guidelines. While it hasn't been proven who exactly grabbed the OPM data, the chances are pretty low that someone with the capability to undertake this sort of work would share the spoils with an organization like VICE.
- Laaw 11y agoI don't think so, I believe all this information is publicly available, though anonymized.
