They had access to both financial and personal data. This included for example social security numbers and bank accounts. Sure, more financial data being public would be nice, but the current dataset as it is can't be made public safely and definitely needs clearance.
- jonhohle 2y agoIs that not how audits work?
- viraptor 2y agoBy assigning random people with no experience and criminal work history to an internal system with no data restriction on personal information scope? No, that's not how they work. What are you even asking?
- jonhohle 2y agoYou’re confusing the point. The data accessed so far is not classified. Where does a clearance requirement come from?
