Anyone heard of the Cyber Security Research and Development Act?

Could they have used the information learned through this to hack the vote?

President Bush recently took the first steps toward this by signing the Cyber Security Research and Development Act. This legislation dedicates more than $900M over five years to security research and education in an effort to protect the nation's technology infrastructure against hackers and cyber terrorists … and it is much needed.

According to a recent Washington Post report the House Government Reform subcommittee on government efficiency gave a failing grade to 14 of the 24 largest federal departments and agencies whose computer security efforts were reviewed by the General Accounting Office (GAO). Another seven agencies earned a "D" and two were given a "C."

The GAO, echoing earlier studies, said, "Poor information security is a widespread federal problem with potentially devastating consequences."

The Post report went on to say that, "many of the failures involved inadequate access controls, leaving sensitive information systems and data vulnerable to tampering by disgruntled workers or attack by thieves or terrorists."

1. Site is linked to CACI

I was hunting around the CAC site. Hard to tell if they're expertise has had any impact on our elections, but the seem to have their nose in a lot of our other business. It's absolutely frightening to think of how much control that this private corporation has over our security. And aren't they the ones mixed up in the torture scandal?!!
