Did Gannon/Guckert's military record get sanitized as ChoicePoint's hack
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 02:56 PM by EVDebs
got exposed ? If this guy is active duty or on a domestic political mission, the lack of a record on this guy suddenly becomes evidence that there IS a military/intelligence propaganda program behind it all.

"sanitized for your protection" is what gets put on all hotel toilets after cleaning.

Oh, and don't forget the SAIC (San Diego) intell company's simultaneous hacking.

1. Good point
It is not without reason to suppose the entire male prostitution angle may be more clandestine than humorous.

What is the SAIC story?

same time as this ChoicePoint hack. The SAIC hack is able to get the ID SS#s, financial info apparently, on many current intel personnel active duty...A very big breach if authentic.

Check this story "Break-In At SAIC Risks ID Theft Computers Held Personal Data on Employee-Owners"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A17506-2005Feb11.html?nav=rss_technology

""The contractor, employee-owned Science Applications International Corp. of San Diego, handles sensitive government contracts, including many in information security. It has a reputation for hiring Washington's most powerful figures when they leave the government, and its payroll has been studded with former secretaries of defense, CIA directors and White House counterterrorism advisers.

Those former officials -- along with the rest of a 45,000-person workforce in which a significant percentage of employees hold government security clearances -- were informed last week that their private information may have been breached and they need to take steps to protect themselves from fraud.

David Kay, who was chief weapons inspector in Iraq after nearly a decade as an executive at SAIC, said he has devoted more than a dozen hours to shutting down accounts and safeguarding his finances. He said the successful theft of personal data, by thieves who smashed windows to gain access, does not speak well of a company that is devoted to keeping the government's secrets secure.
"I just find it unexplainable how anyone could be so casual with such vital information. It's not like we're just now learning that identity theft is a problem," said Kay, who lives in Northern Virginia.""
