Why didn’t her parents get help when she was young? They had to know something was terribly wrong.
You are absolutely correct. Did you notice how she’s smiling with her horseteeth while talking about this grave breach of OUR information?. It makes me angry. I would like to cuss her out for being stupid. But I realize this would be like talking to a drunk….doesn’t do any good whatsoever!
Hey FITTS…..look at the companies who provide software services to the State. That is the most likely source of info used to crack into the system. Remember also that Russia and its allied countries may have agents working for these companies…….Guys like Garon and Cooper are little more than local yokels and probably are not involved unless of course they were paid off by Russian agents.
Bullshit, FITs didn’t “report” on this- you fairly well ignored the information and the inside guy that gave it to you.
Nikki Haley is an idiot. Either one of two things – she doesn’t have a clue what she is talking about or she does know what is happening but Haley is trying to spin it in a direction that doesn’t make her look responsible. The hacker was not that sophisticated – Haley is just saying that so they won’t look so dumb.
DOR is under the Budget and Control Board, the five-headed monster run by two legislators, the independently-elected Treasurer and Comptroller General, AND the Governor. Blaming the Governor for this problem lets off the hook 80 percent of the parties with authority, and the party that has 100 percent of the responsibility for our dysfunctional state government: the Legislature.
I’m not keen on the relation between the Budget and Control Board and the Department of Revenue. I thought Haley appointed a director to SCDoR? I thought these positions only have to be approved by the legislature.
Why do people keep spreading this bullshit that DOR is not a cabinet agency? Its director, Etter, was appointed by Queen Nimrata in 2011.

Wrong. DOR is a cabinet agency answering solely to the governor.
DOR is not under the Budget and Control Board.
DOR is a cabinet agency and has been for a long, long time…
Governor Haley is on top of me. I mean, this.
They announced today that a SCDOR account and PW was used to access the data. Hmmm wonder whose it was???
“the password was my highschool”
I just tried to register for my “free” security protection on the website the state provided and used the SCDOR123 code. I completed and submitted my information only to receive a notice saying I had to call the 1-866-578-5422 to complete the process. I have called 5 times only to listen to a tape recorded message that plays through 2 times and then when I elect to hold they tell me they are busy and I need to call back at a later time and date! Unbelievable. Why do I have to call if I have already entered my information online?
Say, we’re four years in.
When is your tell-all book coming out?
That you could have saved us all four years of this political succubus but couldn’t be bothered because you were writing a book…well, what a shitty thing to do to the people of South Carolina. Shame.
You poor thing. Nikki was elected in 2010 (the years Sic made his claim), took office in 2011…all of this STUFF has happened it less than 2 years, son. It just seems like twice as long.
I wonder about how they keep telling us it was a foreigner who did the hacking just because the IP address was from another country. Obviously, the hacker was pretty dam good.
Isn’t it pretty much standard operating procedure for any sophisticated hacker to hide and or change their real IP address?
It sounds good for Governor Haley to infer it is some sort of Russian mob syndicate, but I seriously doubt the hacker(s)left his or her real IP address lying around for the Feds to trace.
If that information came from higher sources, it may be more likely to be correct. I would expect hackers to use TOR or some other tool to hide their tracks, though.
Smell a big ethnic rat.
With Haley involved we will never know the truth….she’s the SPIN QUEEN and not very good at it either. Damn I wish her term was up NOW!
