There’s so much to challenge in that second link that I wouldn’t know where to start. I’m not saying there isn’t truth in the piece, but there are a million places Nichols states as fact something that’s far less than that are nearly uncountable.
But this is all bit far afield from the point of the Apple Fed-Talk list, so that’ll be the last I weigh in on it.

The intelligence damage, including security-clearance information, will last for decades. (I, of course, am one of the millions of federal workers waiting to find out if my files are now in Beijing.) Almost as shocking as the size of this breach, however, is the fact that no one seems to care very much, including the Chinese, who have shown no concern at all."
