Summary: Hackers now have 5.6 million US citizens, government worker and employees fingerprints on Office of Personnel Management (OPM) file, more than the expected of just over 1.1 million hacked. Hackers now have a gigantic database which can be used to positively identify the true identities of those employees. China may be the number one suspect behind this ruckus. Its purpose is to better spy on America — by blackmailing individuals or outing their true identities.

Reaction: Hackers amaze me so much. The amount of labor they put into their work looks to may off. They sometimes receive so much from so little.

World Impact: Not necessarily impacting the world, but does impact China between the United States. We are blaming  China and making them our number one suspect for the cause.
