*) The Director of the Office of Personnel Management, Ms. Katherine
Archueta was warned, repeatedly, and over several years, by her
own department's Inspector General (IG) that many of OPM's systems
were insecure and should be taken out of service. Nontheless, as
reveled during congressional testimony yesterday, she overruled
and ignored this advice and kept the systems online.
