I am one of the unfortunate victims of OPM’s incompetence.

Wow, thanks for sharing Scott Winn. (I’m the executive editor of Backchannel.) I’m curious what aspects of the data breach affected you most, and what you’ve had to do to rebuild. Do you feel like you’ve been able to recover some of the privacy you lost? As a society we talk a lot about the thousands or millions of accounts that get compromised in these periodic hacks, and we discuss how the attacks came to be — but we hear much less about the very human experience of rebuilding one’s life after the details are spewed online. I’d love to hear more about how you were affected, and how you then handled it.
