S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley takes blame for state’s data breach

Posted on November 29, 2012 by Dissent

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Wednesday for the first time accepted personal blame for a massive cyber-attack that stole the Social Security and bank account numbers of millions of South Carolinians, saying she should have done more to ensure the data’s security.

    Looks like either the light bulb came on or, she was being flogged to the point of submission. Yes, sitting on the seat of authority comes responsibility and an occasional thorn can be found as well.

    Hopefully someone has pulled her aside and she finally said…. Oh My…..and the magnitude of this is being understood. Now lets see some action, people caught and better protections in place.
