this article is the first I have heard of this breach.
FWIW, the article is 8 days old. Did you find out through this article before, or did you just find out from this article being posted to HN today?
- vonmoltke 12y agoA brief NPR report on the subject last week was the absolute first I heard, but this article is the first detail. The NPR story didn't say what the hackers had tried to get, just that they breached OPM and tried to get a list of government employees in sensitive positions. This article I did not see until it was posted here Edit: clarifications
- JPKab 12y agoMost FSOs I've met and worked with don't at all keep up with anything relevant to their jobs. Its known to be a complete dead-end job in the Federal Gov't, with exception of people employed at Defense Contractors who have the role of FSO on top of another role. For those folks, its just a task of assisting with clearances and the like on top of their normal duties.
