Inspector General Says NSA Still Hasn't Implemented Its Post-Snowden Internal Security Measures
from the NSA,-where-the-'S'-stands-for-¯\_(ツ)_/¯ dept In the immediate aftermath of an NSA contractor springing numerous leaks back in 2013, the NSA vowed this would never happen again. It has happened again and it hasn't just been documents. It's also been software exploits, which contributed to a worldwide plague of ransomware. The NSA was going to make sure no one could just walk out of work with thousands of sensitive documents. It laid out a plan to exercise greater control over access and fail safe procedures meant to keep free-spirited Snowdens in check. The NSA is the world's most powerful surveillance agency. It is also a sizable bureaucracy. Over the past half-decade, the NSA has talked tough about tighter internal controls. But talk is cheap -- at least labor-wise. Actual implementation takes dedication and commitment. The NSA just doesn't have that in it, according to a recent Inspector General's report. < - > https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180730/13222840328/inspector-general-says-nsa-still-hasnt-implemented-post-snowden-internal-security-measures.shtml _______________________________________________ Infowarrior mailing list Infowarrior@attrition.org https://attrition.org/mailman/listinfo/infowarrior
