WASHINGTON (AP) -- A CIA-backed technology company has found logins and passwords for 47 government agencies strewn across the Web - available for hackers, spies and thieves. Recorded Future, a social media data mining firm backed by the CIA's venture capital arm, says in a report that login credentials for nearly every federal agency have been posted on open Internet sites for those who know where to look. According to the company, at least 12 agencies don't require authentication beyond passwords to access their networks, so those agencies are vulnerable to espionage and cyberattacks. The company says logins and passwords were found connected with the departments of Defense, Justice, Treasury and Energy, as well as the CIA and the Director of National Intelligence.

Good thing they weren’t any real important agencies.
Bump
This is why medical records and elections should not be on the internet. There’s no safe way to manage it. It must be on hard physical, analog, media.
I have to wonder if now that they know that this info is out there...if they have taken the time...to...perhaps.. CHANGE the stolen log ins??
Naturally, the ‘solution’ to this will include total government control of the internet.
I remember the Physical Reaction I had to the first mention of Internet Voting...
a tightening of the gut....and it went downhill from there...
these agencies...need the own closed networks
NEVER let a crisis go to waste...particularly if its one “we” have gone to some trouble to create in the first place.
How is it that this regime has has such a tremendous amount of trouble with all things “digital communication”?
this may be Hillary clintons get out of jail card/
Maybe she can claim that she knew that OFFICIAL government security was so lax that she needed her own means of protecting her email...?
Oh look over THERE ..... a Confederate flag!
Stupidest administration in US history.
Worst administration ever.
You'd think the Unions would be raising holy hell about this wouldn't you.
“This is why medical records and elections should not be on the internet.”
Here in Ohio, when I need to refill a script for mild muscle relaxing meds for a pinched nerve/muscle spasms, I have to go to my Doc’s office- he can’t phone it in anymore- and pick up the script. They have to have my driver’s license which they put on top of the script, and scan it into the computer records. I hate it, and my Doc hates it!
I guess this is what happens when you have a president who doesn't believe in American exceptionalism. One who believes that what the U.S. does should be shared with EVERYONE, otherwise we're being selfish and 'capitalist'.
0dumbo leaves our systems wide open ON PURPOSE, and Snowden was NOT acting alone and the 'China hacks' were GIFTS from 0dumbo.
The unions care about their members like Jeffrey Dahmer did his dinner guests.
And no one involved dropped a dime. People must fear Obama.
I have to wonder whether this sort of “laxness”...translates to high treason??
ahahahahaha....noW STOP that!!!
My grandfather would refuse.....thats REFUSE... to believe these people and their various treasonous acts
