Security problems at DoE

Global Security Newswire:

The U.S. Energy Department could endanger information stored at U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories if it fails to rapidly upgrade its computer security infrastructure, the agency's inspector general concluded in a report last month (see GSN, Nov. 17).

The department's Science Office has held up efforts to bolster measures for protecting computer systems, a trend that threatens to waste more than $3.3 million in federal funds, the report asserts.

But I'm sure DoE initiatives on alternative energy will be a different story.
