Our government just doesn't take data security seriously

[thewayne]

Several military documents that should not be available online have been found by writers for Associated Press, including the plans for a military prison and new fuel depot in Iraq. This rates right up there with their bollixing up the intelligence budget by including actual dollar amounts. Considering how poorly most agencies rate with computer security, I suppose one should not be surprised.

Pretty long article.

For some reason, this kind of thing gives me flashbacks to a Batman comic where the characters follow the hidden money in budget reports. Geez, why not just have the hacker kids look for the plain text?
