Here's why the intelligence community appears "cavalier" regarding the OPM data theft: OPM doesn't fall under the intelligence community. The OPM website is in the .gov TLD, which is not defended by USCYBERCOM, which defends .mil. NSA and USCYBERCOM have the talent to help secure .gov, when requested, but it is not their responsibility. The responsible agency for securing .gov is the Department of Homeland Security. ADM Rogers and Director Clapper have a limited stake in this event, and would be wrong to fire shots at their counterparts in other agencies, in public.
