Dept. of Interior to use wireless despite Internet court battle

Aliya Sternstein writes in FCW.com:

Lawyers representing a group of American Indians suing the Interior Department say wireless Internet service could grant unauthorized access to Indian trust fund account information. But Interior plans to issue a solicitation notice for departmentwide wireless service soon.

Interior lawyers are reviewing the final version of the notice and would not comment on its contents.

Last Tuesday, lawyers gave a federal judge a report published in December by Interior’s inspector general on wireless management and security. It details how easily hackers could manipulate trust accounts held by 500,000 American Indians.
