Subject: IRS systems can't be trusted

The Internal Revenue Service's failure to use strong passwords, install patches quickly, and adequately control access 
to computer systems and information makes the system vulnerable to insider threats and attacks from outside, a new 
government report concludes.

The IRS has failed to fix almost 70 percent of control weaknesses and program deficiencies identified a year ago, the 
Government Accountability Office said in a report released last week." [SNIP]
