You say it like you're blaming them. Do you realize the sheer number of assets they have to protect?
The thing is that they have very little control over the hacking attempts. They do have control over what they build themselves.
It's tempting to say the hackers are the bad guys, but morality isn't a helpful tool in situations like these. They may as well be an act of god for all the difference it makes.
- theboss 13y agoThey don't build it themselves they have contractors. The contractors make mistakes and there isn't enough resources to find/fix them all. Much of the technical mistakes made by the contractors aren't due to poor engineering it's a lack of funding. Lots of the contracts put out are Lowest Cost Technically Acceptable due to budget problems beyond the control of the people making the decisions. I'm not making any comments on right or wrong.
- Amadou 13y agoThey don't build it themselves they have contractors. I don't see how that makes any difference at all. it's a lack of funding That's really a problem of poor management.
- pmorici 13y ago"mistakes made by the contractors aren't due to poor engineering it's a lack of funding." So to take healthcare.gov as an example those over worked under paid contractors got something on the order of 300 million. You think the problem was that the project was _under_ funded? Government Contractors more often than not get paid obscene amounts of money for the work they do.
