In the United States, the director of the Office of Personnel Management has resigned, following revelations hackers stole the personal information of more than 22 million people from agency databases, far more than initially disclosed. The hacks, said to have originated in China, compromised Social Security numbers, health histories and financial information. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest announced Katherine Archuleta’s departure on Friday.

Josh Earnest: “I can tell you that Director Archuleta did offer her resignation today. She did so of her own volition. She recognizes, as the White House does, that the urgent challenges currently facing the Office of Personnel Management require a manager with a specialized set of skills and experiences. That’s precisely why the president has accepted her resignation and assigned Beth Cobert to take on the responsibilities of the OPM director on an acting basis.”

Katherine Archuleta was the first Latina to lead the Office of Personnel Management.
