Why Does The FBI Let Someone Else Manage Their Email?
from the odd-choices... dept
Just a month or so after it was revealed that a hacker had access to Secret Service emails because at least one agent was doing email from a T-Mobile Sidekick, comes the news that the FBI is shutting down an email system for fear that it's been hacked into. Of course, you shouldn't worry, because this isn't there really important email system, this one is just for... um... show. That is, it's the email system they use when they communicate with the riffraff, rather than for all their secret stuff that they keep separate. Of course, it still makes you wonder why the FBI would contract out management of their email system (even the one for communicating with lowly outsiders) to an outside company? You would think that's the sort of thing that they might want to have control over themselves.

Here's why!
It really is THAT simple.
They can't even make a simple replicated database work (see link).
Having worked with a few, uh, government IT "experts" I can attest to this purely from personal experience. The government does not value IT skills in its employees to the degree that would cause it to pay these employees what they are worth. The government, thus, gets what it pays for: TechnoDummies.
