No that is impossible. We should trust the government with all of our information as they will look after it and no one can hack the government...

I sometimes think this kind of stuff is a joke, so that we all think that they are incompetent and couldn't really monitor and be on top of everything that happens.
Either that or they really are pretty incompetent.  It makes you think, maybe Gox weren't so bad, if the FED can't keep their system secure, how could a former playing card exchange manage it when large amounts of money are at stake!

If the federal employees have done nothing wrong, they've got nothing to hide....

Wouldn't it make sense to keep all sensitive info like that offline, or at least seperate the data so it can't all be accessed at the same time.

Every federal agency may have been hit by the data breach, which saw personal information including names, social security numbers and birth dates accessed from systems at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

Can be the Chinese hackers, can be the Russians or even the Iranians. You can blame the North Koreans, Cubans and the Venezuelans as well. A lot of people around the world are irritated by the role of world police being played by the United States. So it will be difficult to ascertain with 100% accuracy from where the attacks came from.
