How Obama years were 8-year hacking nightmare

How Obama years were 8-year hacking nightmare:

Not only did the largest hacks of government databases and infrastructure take place on Barack Obama’s watch, but even the nation’s top intelligence and national security officials were themselves hacked – in some cases even by rank amateurs – in one case, by a teenager.

But she was hardly alone among top Obama officials – like CIA Director John Brennan, who was hacked by a 15-year-old kid from the United Kingdom. And, of course, while the federal government was warning the private sector to take cybersecurity seriously, the U.S. Office of Personnel management suffered the biggest hack in history in which the personal data of some 21.5 million employees, military service people and former federal government staffers was compromised.
If indeed Russia actually conducted dirty cyber tricks, as alleged, it happened on Obama’s watch. It happened before the election. Obama’s national security officials watched it and did nothing.
Interestingly, there is no special counsel investigating that kind of “collusion” by omission. There are no congressional hearings on it. And there is no media concern.
