Holes in FBI cyber security !!

May 01, 2011
About a third of the FBI agents working on cyber investigations lack the networking and counterintelligence expertise to investigate national security intrusions, the Justice Department's inspector general concluded in a new report. The report said the FBI's practice of rotating agents among different offices to promote a variety of work experiences hinders the ability to investigate national security cyber intrusions. The inspector general's audit, based on interviews of 36 agents in 10 offices, emphasized the need for a strong cyber security work force in federal government "is more urgent than ever," said Sen. Susan Collins, the top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The FBI has a comprehensive instructional plan in place that includes 12 core courses an agent must take along with on-the-job training. According to the inspector general's report, many agents said training was helpful but that they did not have the time to take the req...

Department of Homeland Security Out to Get PSN Hackers ! The external intrusion into the PlayStation Network has led to undoubtedly the worst fiasco in the PlayStation universe since the ApocalyPS3 of 2010. If the readers are like us, then we're all not only sick of the PSN being down but are also sick of all the news surrounding it with little to no positive light at the end of the tunnel. Finally, there finally appears to be some progress in the making thanks to the unveiling of some assuring details. Despite the word that SCEA is working around the clock with third-party security organizations to bring the network back up for our online gaming pleasure, users were not told what team was conducting the investigations, how large the said company was, and to what extent their resources were spanning out to. However, in a surprising turn of events, the United States Department of Homeland Security revealed that the federal division is lending their hand in assessing the damages o...
