OPM Head Has No Tech Or Cyber-Security Experience, Won’t Resign

More than 21.5 million current and former federal employees had their personal information hacked from the Office of Personnel Management, including the fingerprints of everyone who has applied for a security clearance. The director of OPM, Katherine Archuleta, has refused to resign, saying she is “committed” to repairing the historic data breach.

But Archuleta has no background in tech or cyber-security. In the official White House press release on her first day, Archuleta was heralded as “the first Latina” to run the OPM and someone who “[w]ith her breadth of experience as an educator, public administrator, and community leader, Katherine Archuleta possesses an abundance of skills to bring talented people together with different ideas and fresh perspectives to strengthen our federal workforce.”

The release focused mainly on Archuleta’s history of political appointments, in the Clinton and Obama administrations, and diversity.

This lady may well deserve firing but the head of personnel is not hired as a computer expert. She should hire computer experts.

Politically connected hack (no pun intended) installed because of her demographics. That's it!
