Sysadmin blog It took a massive hack attack against the United States government resulting in the theft of up to [-]14 million[/-] 21.5 million records to make me realise why I want to quit working in IT. Over the past year I've significantly drawn down my involvement in day-to-day IT operations, and I'm much happier for it.
The US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) was utterly pwned. Highly sensitive data that will probably have very real world national security implications for the US was taken.
The head of the OPM, Katherine Archuleta, was pan-fried by a committee of politicians, and she'll be worked over repeatedly by many more groups of angry, incompetent, grandstanding ******s before this is done.
Katherine Archuleta is living my nightmare.
