New Security Breach at Los Alamos
John Pruett writes on The Project on Government Oversight (POGO) blog:
The security problems at Los Alamos National Laboratory just keep piling up. Today, POGO issued a press release confirming another breach involving "unauthorized release of classified data via email" that occured last week. The Lab has officially designated the incident an Impact Measurement Index-1 (IMI-1), the highest threat level, despite an attempt to downgrade it to a lower level.More here.
Despite recent congressional investigations, Dept. of Energy chastisement, and promises of improving, the Lab's frequency of security failures appears to be actually increasing over previous years - this latest one being the fourth so far this year. The vast majority of these failures have been in the area of cybersecurity, including today's revelation.
