IRS Doesn't Check Cyberaudit Logs
An anonymous reader writes "The US Internal Revenue Service's IT staff hasn't routinely checked its cybersecurity audit logs, according to a report released this week by the agency's inspector general's office. The report is not exactly flattering for the IRS. The report, with large chunks redacted, recommends the IRS allow independent review of audit logs and establish procedures to save audit logs. It also recommended that the IRS regularly test its Internet gateways for compliance with standard security configurations."
But now it is used for all kinds of financial transactions any organization has to guard those 9 numbers better than Fort Knox guards its gold.
Fort Knox still has gold!? I thought with how all american money is based on credit they'd have stacks upon stacks of paper specifying just how much imaginary money there is. Guess I was wrong and that gold can just be pumped back into the economy thus saving the day. hooray
