There are many situations when a more simple translation is more appropriate, especially for the general public, and wikipedia is that exact place. This other translation is easily found for anyone interested. Most would prefer the other one.

SF-86s are only filled out during initial processing and periodic reinvestigations (every 10 years for secret, every 5 years for TS). This database included everyone that every applied for clearance, regardless of whether one was granted, so some of the information will appear once and never get updated again. Individuals are required to self report major changes, such as address, marriage/divorce, legal issues, drug/alcohol incidents, personal travel, and certain foreign contacts (but not all). This reporting goes to their local security officer who would make entries into JPAS or similar systems outside of DoD, but it does not go back to OPM. This data only shows up in OPM when the individuals go through a periodic reinvestigation or occasionally when switching agencies or being accessed to certain programs. <br /><br />Other than that, I think your assessment is correct. Some foreign intelligence service just one the jackpot and will be trading that information or portions of it around the world for years to come.<br /><br />We are so screwed.spacer01https://www.blogger.com/profile/15266031034224147180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031840977303029006.post-84093321605461256592015-06-06T01:56:30.206-07:002015-06-06T01:56:30.206-07:00Shmoop didn't mention any objection to me abou...Shmoop didn't mention any objection to me about either panelist.

As for Vizfosho, Rustle League was founded by Danny Dantalion, Shmoop, and meepkittyfuck. Vizforsho did post a few harassing tweets early on. I don't recall Viz being in CabinCrew, either. What I do recall is Viz being a livestreamer at Occupy SF/ Oakland and him videoing women's gatherings when being asked not to, and wearing a Guy Fawkes mask while doing so. Maybe he'd like to explain all that.

Instead of hosting their response on their own website(probably for PR purposes) they created a 3rd party site premeraupdate.com that uses no encryption and has no certificates. Thus, I am open to man in the middle attacks while entering my data for the purpose of signing up to protect my data. It is interesting to note that a phishing site with the name Primeraupdate.com was created a full 3 days before premeraupdate.com went online. Even without the potential for man in the middle attacks, by creating a second website for dealing with the crisis they created the potential for more phishing and loss of trust.

Why does the US insist on using non-secrets as identity validation factors? My SSN is NOT a secret, given that I am required to give it away to most any business with which I do business with. My mothers maiden name is NOT a secret, it is public record. So is my date of birth. My first pet's name is a secret UNTIL I am asked to give it away to the first company that asks. <br />This is severely broken, and I am appalled that US law defends these practices, favoring convenience over security. Companies should not be able to make a customer responsible for a financial or otherwise sensitive action without proper validation that doesn't rely on public information as the validating factor.

In October 2011- more than two years ago - that street was re-named Ulitsa Sikorskogo in honor of the famous aircraft and helicopter designer Igor Sikorsky who grew up in Kiev, fled to the US after the Russian Revolution in 1917 and founded the Sikorsky helicopter company. Obviously, the pro-Russian, pro-Yanukovych hackers who put up this information on-line could not stand to write the name of Sikorsky, who for most of the Soviet era was a non-person "enemy of the people" as punishment for having fled Bolshevik-ruled Russia, so they use a name that has been out of use since before Putin was even "re-elected" Russian president.
