According to the Whore Street Journal, computer company Unisys is denying allegations that it is to blame for the success that hackers have had in breaching the security of the computer network of the Department of Homeland Security, along with other government computer networks.
While some may actually care whether Unisys is at fault, I think that the emphasis on their role in this debaucle is covering up the most important information to come out of this: hackers are successfully breaching one of our nation’s (supposedly) most secure computer networks. I would love to know what these hackers are doing in the network. Are they finding out which nonterrorists our government is spying on? Are they destroying the files that our government shouldn’t have on its own citizens? Whatever they are doing, we can be sure of one thing: the hackers are showing the US that the Department of Homeland Security can’t even protect its own computers from outside threats. If they can’t protect their own computers, how can we ever expect them to protect us?
