OK, the long and thinkfully skinny is this

OPM's breach and even the White House breach is limited.

First, the White House data was unclassified. Classified goes on networks that are segregated from things that can find the internet.

Thank Silent Bob for that!

OPM breach released pretty much *some* group who has or applied for clearances. I can't discuss that further, due to an NDA.

So, it stands for the OPM breach, either all, some existing or new applicants have highly confidential information of that group.

Yeah, it's *that* potentially ugly.

I know of some sub-sets of who, but to be blunt, I don't know if *I* am part of the group.

Meanwhile, I already know that the PRC knows me, via a different breach in 2008.

Notable was a breach of discussions on how I deflected the breach for my organization.

So, a breach could be a personal as the contents of my scrotum.

Now, excuse me while I kiss my renewal of my security clearance goodbye.
