    An threat actor said it would publish data including FBI employees’ names, home address, personal and work contact information, Social Security numbers, date of birth and emergency contact information

    “An” threat actor.

    Defense officials said they have found no evidence so far that the exposed information has been misused and are offering identity protection and credit monitoring resources.

    Credit monitoring. There you go, feel better now? You’ve got credit monitoring! All fixed, no need to worry, nope. Your personal info has been leaked all over the dark web, but we’ve given you identity protection. Nothing to see here, FBI person, move along.

    Just another one in a long line lol. OPM has been breached so many times. There was a huge one in 2015 under Obama when the Chinese government stole the data on basically anyone who had had a background check done on them by the federal government. 22.1 million records, social security numbers, job data, clearance data, address data, their friends’ and families’ data from their SF-86 forms, everything. They also got 5.6 million fingerprint records.

    Might as well not worry about it now. No one cares when doge came in and made copies of everything onto unknown servers. That is when the country died

      Knowing somebody who is likely directly impacted by this, I can tell you their 7 year old doesn’t deserve to have a life ruined by this. The parent in question I have my own opinions on, but children aren’t inherently guilty of their parents’ sins, are they?

      Schadenfreude is one thing, cruelty is another.

        Not that I disagree but it sounds hollow in the current baby killing context. I’d ruin a 7 year olds life if it saves like 3 babies or more (probably not what’s happening here, mostly a joke). I am mentally prepared for the downvotes.

          So you tell me which kids deserve to suffer. Go on and point a finger right at them so they can see. And make sure you record yourself telling that kid they deserve to eat shit and die because your opinion is more valid than that of their parents.

            No one deserves to suffer but you can’t protect monsters just because they know how to breed. This also hinges on a hypothetical that their parents has killed babies before and will probably do it again.

            I’m not really going to get into it though, I clearly don’t believe in harming children. I also misread over this being personal to you. Sorry for what’s happening to the kid and being a dick about it.
