"Among the things the inspector general found that could have helped hackers was that nearly a quarter of the agency's systems did not have valid authorization procedures," she said. "The reason that's important is because one of the departments that didn't have the correct procedures was the Federal Investigative Services. That's the group responsible for background investigations of federal employees. So that data's very sensitive, and as we know now, this is one of the databases that was hacked." Let me get this straight. You had really sensitive data, you knew it wasn't secure and huge portions of the systems didn't have valid authorization procedures? This is pretty eye opening, even for a governmental agency. The scary thing is, this is just the tip of the iceberg. It seems this breach was inevitable considering how many other EPIC FAILS are mentioned in the article.
