The gov't knows who was behind this latest hacking incident and should take action to eliminate their products/services coming in to this country. Additionally, all Federal Employees and federal contractors (since their info may have been hacked as well) should take a stand and send a message - DO NOT PURCHASE ANY GOODS OR SERVICES THAT ORIGINATE IN OR ARE IMPORTED FROM THE COUNTRY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HACKING. LET'S SEND A STRONG MESSAGE AND HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS - IN THE POCKETBOOK.

My husband is a retired Federal employee and we received a letter that we were compromised in the hack. I also believe that they should protect us for longer than 18 months. This is serious business with them having taken such personal information including his social security number. One thing I was surprised is that they didn't offer the coverage for spouses.
