CyberWar: Chi-Coms Strike Again~!

Why I am not surprised? Because all of the I.T. support for all the Federal agencies are outsourced. No systems are updated, patched or otherwise hardened against attack because of the time and paperwork involved.

    I keep updating this original forum post, just to keep a running story line as time passes:

    http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2015/07/13/why-opm-hack-is-ongoing-cyber-headache/?intcmp=latestnews

    So here’s the thing, and mentioned in the story. The ‘Government’ is giving, supposedly, giving all the effected people Eighteen(18) months of some kind of ‘Life-Lock’ coverage. At 18 months, what will happen?…most will not renew the protection and then it all comes crashing down. Expect ‘the major fun’ to start happening late next year, if not sooner.
