Doom and Gloom - just in time for Tax Day!

I was spring cleaning my electronic discussion lists today. What a mess. After I made some sense of my filters, digests and random listserv messages, I began enjoying a steady stream of info again.

And I found this Associated Press article about how the Internal Revenue Service had a very insecure stream of information going through its routers and data switches. Give some unauthorized people administrator's rights and then create some unauthorized accounts and you have yourself one compromised tax system.

There's a lot of good (and scary) information in this short article. Well worth the read. Taxes are the reason for the season.
