Seaver, Kristin

U.S. Postal Service (USPS) post data breach and data breach Chief Information Officer (CIO), Apr 2016 – present. The USPS also considers itself a business, e.g. its website is usps.com not usps.gov.

No IT education. Only a BS in industrial engineering (despite its name, this is more of a business management field; it's certainly not IT) and an MBA (Master of Business Administration).

$259,280 is Seaver's most recent annual salary as of May 2019 according to my FOIA request to USPS. USPS stalled this FOIA for 5 months, until I threatened a lawsuit. Three days later the requested information came, not via fast email but in the U.S. Mail and backdated 3 months so USPS could lie on their FOIA response statistics. The USPS did indeed have something to hide. Seaver has the highest salary in the IT Incompetents Hall Of Shame (ITIHOS). It is more than most doctors or lawyers make and, unlike Seaver, they are at least qualified; by law they have to be.

In Nov 2014 it was reported that 800,000 USPS records had been exposed to hackers; it was described as a "massive" data breach at the time. IT incompetent Jim Cochrane was USPS CIO during this data breach. IT incompetent Seaver was his replacement. In Nov 2018 Seaver had her own data breach: 60,000,000 USPS records were exposed to hackers; it's unknown what word to use to describe it if the previous "massive" data breach was only 800,000.
