Bob Gourley, former naval intelligence officer, says the OPM should have known an attack was coming even without data analytics. “Enhanced analytics were not necessary in warning of impending attacks in this case, Gourley told DC Inno. “There was plenty of warning in very clear and unambiguous ways that OPM was a target and that an attack was coming.”
For Gourley, “the multiple phishing attempts against OPM employees and subcontractors, and the successful breach of subcontractors provided clear and unambiguous warning that OPM itself was a target.”
