Quote
Hackers have breached a computer network used by the U.S. Census Bureau and have made off with ?non-confidential? information from a government database that has since been published online, the agency admits.

?The U.S. Census Bureau is investigating an IT security incident relating to unauthorized access to non-confidential information on an external system that is not part of the Census Bureau internal network. Access to the external system has been restricted while our IT forensics team investigates,? Census Bureau spokesman Michael Cook said in a statement on Thursday first published by The Register.

Is any system secure within the government?  This is becoming a weekly event.

Of course, when you have key people that disregard the rules for security, i.e. Hillary Clinton, it is no wonder that everything is chaotic.

This is proof positive of what comes from a lack of leadership, i.e. Obama's embarrassing lead from behind strategy.
