Majority believe regular workers are held to stricter standards than top officials

SEATTLE, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A new survey from ResumeTemplates.com finds that most Americans believe Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should be fired for discussing classified U.S. military operations in a Signal group chat that included individuals without security clearance. The survey also highlights a perception that everyday workers are often terminated for much less.

When asked whether Hegseth should be fired for sharing details of classified U.S. strikes in Yemen, 62% of Americans say he definitely (34%) or probably (28%) should be fired. Only 22% say he probably or definitely should not be, while 17% are unsure. Support for firing Hegseth is significantly lower among Trump voters, with only 25% saying he definitely should be fired and 20% saying probably.

A similar share, 58%, say he should definitely (31%) or probably (27%) resign, while 23% say he should not and 18% are unsure.

Americans say regular workers would be fired for less

When asked what would happen to a typical employee who shared classified information, 71% say the worker would definitely (41%) or probably (30%) be fired. Just 9% say the worker probably or definitely wouldn’t be fired, and 20% are unsure.

Additionally, most Americans agree that regular employees are often let go for less serious infractions. 41% strongly agree and 33% somewhat agree with this statement, while only 9% disagree and 17% are unsure.

“In most at-will states, people can be fired for far less serious mistakes—employers don’t need a major infraction to let someone go,” says ResumeTemplates’ Chief Career Strategist Julia Toothacre. “When an issue involves national security or classified information, the consequences often depend on the person’s position, the sensitivity of the information, and internal relationships. High-level roles come with increased scrutiny, which makes it even more critical to be cautious about communication. At the very least, this situation raises important questions about whether clear policies are in place and what accountability measures should follow.”

Methodology
This survey was commissioned by ResumeTemplates.com and conducted via Pollfish on March 26, 2025. It includes responses from a nationally representative sample of 1,250 U.S. residents.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SimonMed Imaging confirmed that it experienced a data incident in January 2025 and will issue notices to affected individuals and relevant state and federal agencies about the incident.  

On January 27, 2025, SimonMed Imaging was alerted by one of our vendors that they were experiencing a security incident. After receiving this information, SimonMed Imaging (“SimonMed” or “we”) promptly began a review of our own systems and on the following day, January 28, 2025, discovered suspicious activity on our network (the “Incident”). Upon discovering we were the victim of a criminal attack, we immediately began an investigation and took steps to contain the situation, including resetting passwords, enhancing multifactor authentication, implementing endpoint detection and response monitoring, removing all third-party vendor direct access to systems within SimonMed’s environment and all associated tools, limiting only whitelisted traffic into and from our network, notifying law enforcement, and engaging data security and privacy professionals to assist. The SimonMed team has been working diligently to continue its investigation and add further technical safeguards to our existing protections.

Through our investigation, we determined that there was unauthorized access to our systems between January 21, 2025 and February 5, 2025. Due to the nature of the Incident, the investigation is still ongoing into what data pertaining to individuals was affected.

Based on our investigation findings to date, we believe the following types of information may have been affected: name, address, birth date, date of service, provider name, medical record number, patient number, medical condition, diagnosis and/or treatment information, medications, health insurance information, or driver’s license numbers. These are general categories of information that we believe may be present within the affected systems and may have been accessed by unauthorized actors during the Incident. However, the full list of specific individuals and the extent of the information accessed are not yet known. Because our investigation is ongoing, we are providing notice to all individuals who may potentially be affected by this situation.

As our investigation continues, we encourage individuals who may be potentially impacted to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud. We encourage a cautious review of account statements and explanation of benefits forms for suspicious activity. Additional monitoring can be conducted by checking free credit reports for suspicious activity and errors. Under U.S. law, individuals are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus. Additional information and resources are outlined below. 

Moreover, information regarding identity theft, fraud alerts, security freezes, and the steps an individual can take to protect personal information may be obtained by contacting the consumer reporting agencies, the Federal Trade Commission, or the appropriate state Attorney General. The Federal Trade Commission can be reached at: 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20580; www.identitytheft.gov; 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338); and TTY: 1-866-653-4261. The Federal Trade Commission also encourages those who discover that their information has been misused to file a complaint with them. Individuals can obtain further information on how to file such a complaint by calling 1-877-438-4338. Individuals should file a police report if they are a victim of identity theft or fraud. To file a report with law enforcement for identity theft, an individual will likely need to provide some proof that they have been a victim.

We take this Incident and the security of information in our care seriously. If you have additional questions, you may contact us at 602-688-6116 Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM AZ time.
