As the US realises it's been PWNED, when will OPM heads roll?

included the theft of Standard Form 86, essentially a biography

You haven't been keeping up/paying attention. Admittedly they were real coy about the way they slipped it in, but it's even worse than the bad guys just getting the Standard Form 86. But how could it possibly be worse than handing over your personal biography?

Well it seems they also made off with the files the FBI puts together to VERIFY your Standard Form 86. And that's even bigger than your SF86. And it probably contains enough information to steal the identities of the people you supplied as references or asked to vouch for you.

Yeah, heads are going to roll on this one. Almost certainly too few and not necessarily the right ones, but heads will roll.
