They've known all about it for years but it is against their interest to divulge. He just laughed and said: "This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as we're concerned". This is just civilians eventually discovering something that has been known by some for quite a while. Then the infotainment media needs to use it to make a buck by crying wolf and the sky is about to fall. Click bait and advertising revenue.

The real problem is the social office, and the psychology of office power-politics. Until the hierarchical human dynamic changes OPM style hacks will remain a dime a dozen, ad infinitum ad nauseum. -Mike
