A government audit of the U.S. Treasury Department found that the agency's intelligence network is vulnerable to attack. Bah! Who cares about our government agencies being secure?!?!
Lax security left the U.S. Treasury's computer system for tracking overseas threats to America's financial system vulnerable to hackers. The report, prepared in September 2014, gave no indication the foreign intelligence network had been hacked. But auditors found up to 29 percent of Treasury's devices connected to the intelligence network did not meet federal cybersecurity standards.
