WAIT, FEDERAL MANAGERS FIRED, JUST BECAUSE OF A COLOSSAL FAILURE? Oversight chair wants officials fired over hack. “Chaffetz believed that his panel’s Tuesday morning hearing should serve as the nail in the coffin for OPM Director Katherine Archuleta and OPM Chief Information Officer Donna Seymour, who both testified. . . . Lawmakers were repeatedly frustrated during the hearing at both officials refusal to answer basic questions about the breach, such as who is affected and how many people had their data exposed. The OPM leaders cited the confidentiality of the ongoing investigation. During the hearing, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) kicked off the calls for administration resignations over the event, but did not specify who should lose their job.”

Well, since this affects federal employees, not just ordinary citizens, I suppose accountability isn’t completely out of the question.
