Responding to the Hacks, Govt. Officials Make Things Worse.
This is my industry/sector -- cyber -- and yes, the government's demonstrating complete idiocy in how it's handling this, particularly the clowns running OPM these days. Sadly, I think it'll make a fine case study one day on how NOT to a) conduct incident handling b) run a cybersecurity program.
On a related note, I'm one of those potentially affected by this incident.
Reminds me of my old CG days. On my way to my first duty in Alaska, weather canceled the last flight leg so three of us got a hotel in Anchorage. We split the room rate. Turned in the receipts and some weeks later all three of us got full reimbursement for the room instead of ⅓ the rate. Mentioned this to the yeoman. He said they would redo it and deduct it out of our pay. ( We were honest). Some weeks later we received a second check for the full amount again.
What's a honest guy to do? We treated everyone at the EM club.
