Well, I guess that Obama 'failed utterly and totally' to protect data because the buck stopped with him. Yeah, hacking and obtaining detailed personal histories of military and intelligence workers with security clearances is not big deal. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/16/congress-hacking-opm-cybersecurity-computer-networks Congress says hacked federal agency 'failed utterly and totally' to protect data Personal information of almost every government employee was stolen from the Office of Personnel Management, which neglected basic cybersecurity practices The agency that allowed hackers linked to China to steal private information about nearly every US government employee and detailed personal histories of military and intelligence workers with security clearances failed for years to take basic steps to secure its computer networks, officials acknowledged to Congress on Tuesday. China denies involvement in the cyberattack, and no evidence has been aired publicly proving Chinese involvement although the government says it has “moderate confidence” China was involved. Lawmakers voiced fears Tuesday that China will seek to gain leverage over Americans with access to secrets by pressuring their overseas relatives, particularly if they happen to be living in China or another authoritarian country. “China now has a list of Chinese citizens worldwide who are in close contacts with American officials and they can use that for espionage purposes,” said representative Ron DeSantis, a Florida Republican. But the fears don’t end with China. China’s intelligence service could share the information with countries such as North Korea or Pakistan. Also, experts say, many who hack on behalf of the Chinese government are allowed to freelance and sell what they steal.
Thats all Trump has focused on the last year,while The US has most Covid cases and deaths in the world.
I was disappointed as well when I found out that Trump is not omnipotent and that he actually relies on federal employees/intelligence agents to inform him on such matters.
The White House has not listed an intelligence briefing on the President's daily schedule since early October
the President himself remains silent on the matter, preoccupied instead with his election loss and his invented claims of widespread voter fraud. Just as he has largely ignored the latest surge in coronavirus cases, Trump appears to have all but abdicated responsibility in his final weeks in office.
