Description: What the government can do after the OPM data breach

The office of personnel management was hacked right? Yes, yes. So 21. 5 million people had their personal data exposed. You know Steven, the director just resigned Could she have done anything? We had the same question with Sony, right? And Sony said, no way this was a North Korea. And I think you would've heard the same thing from her. This is China, there was no way to stop it. But I think, time and time And then again, when experts come in they find gaps, they find lapses, they find places where companies and the government could have done better. And I think this is one of the things, when we look at why the economy is not doing better, I think this fear This kind of distraction from CEOs. I think it's one of the things hanging over RGDP. Yeah. Jeff, I wanna ask you a question that I just asked you a few minutes ago. And that's, what are the implications for those affected? Well, it's actually terrible for those affected. Because they don't even know what the implications are. In other words, first of all, They probably don't even know whether their record was compromised, because this included not only millions of government employees, it also included people who were references for these government employees. Well you may not even know that you were a reference for somebody years ago. Furthermore, since we don't know for sure, we don't know officially who did it- And why they did it. We therefore don't have any clue as to what the bad guys might want to do with all the data that they got. So, all you can do is try to figure out if you were hacked. By the way, the Director of the FBI himself said that his own records had as part of this. Unbelievable. And then just try to be aware of what might be a response to that. [ MUSIC ]
