I read Marissa Mayer may be seeking a new opportunity in the near future :)

It's entirely predictable in this day and age that a high profile event like an online census will face some kind of cyber attack. It happens all the time. IBM, the service provider, did not have adequate measures in place to deal with the attack, fundamental measures like geo-blocking. It's a bloody disgrace! IBMs reputation is already in tatters in Australia after the Queensland government health payroll disaster. The Queensland government is still refusing to budge on a sector-wide ban on new contracts with IBM and who can blame them. After this fiasco their brand is toxic. This is a company who government and the private sector would 100% trust to get the job done with integrity. Unfortunately, those days are past now. Too many high profile failures and accusations of underhand dealing have ruined their credibility down here https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.itnews.com.au_news_ibm-2Dshould-2Dnever-2Dhave-2Dbeen-2Dappointed-2Dfinds-2Dqld-2Dpayroll-2Dinquiry-2D352362&d=CwIC-g&c=zjLIypOkeQKJfe4BYrJ5J55pYA-45JElRiaMoh2hP7Q&r=SaL11MvL9LWz-4CkTmMYltgrRR9mrR4t5HY7AKmOSPE&m=zWwYi2QpDY6TE4HyLAwdwygnSOQ-LDwEzV6IV_KA4gw&s=Y8GHS85QBlF0dCIM3MFvaj1Tbk2oYKDyGe3Lz0RTNG8&e= . Maybe what IBM needs is a change in leadership.
