Well, here we are once again OVERstating the obvious. I can't decide whether the media is just bored, and continues to rewrite the same stupid, non-informing information, or whether these "government agencies" are as clueless as they appear.
Let me just clarify here that whenever the media says "a government agency," what it means, in reality, is "a spokesperson in the agency's HQ in DC, who has little or no idea what's going on in the trenches." What the DC folks say and what is true for the agency as a whole often have little to do with one another. Security at the network and individual server level is constantly improving across the federal government. Of course, there's nowhere to go but up... RGF Robert G.
