The Fed does use contractors but the background check is extensive, and the access to the banking systems are very closely guarded. They do have some Coldfusion sites, mostly forward facing and not connected to secure areas of the bank. This hack looks like it hit an email alert system for disasters rather than secure banking area.
The money handling portion of the Fed is locked down very tight. They don't even let humans touch it til it gets to the banks.
