Ron DeSantis on OPM Breach: 'Unmitigated Disaster for U.S. National Security'

On Tuesday, the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing on the  data breach at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management in which more than 4 million federal employees had their data stolen with many signs pointing to China as the culprit.

U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., who is running for the U.S. Senate, called the breach an “unmitigated disaster for U.S. national security” and called out President Barack Obama for not responding adequately. 
 
“The hacking of the personnel records of millions of federal employees – including those in military and intelligence positions – represents an unmitigated disaster for U.S. national security,” DeSantis said on Tuesday.  “The witnesses before the House Oversight Committee raised more questions than they answered with their testimony.  Our adversaries now have access to copious amounts of personnel data that can be used to harm U.S. interests.  The administration seems to have no plan to either respond to or mitigate the damage from this cyberattack.”
