The FBI Wants To Know About Your IT Skills

Posted by Soulskill on from the and-how-you-take-your-coffee dept.

AHuxley writes "The FBI, via the Office of Management and Budget, would like to find out more about your information technology expertise if you are part of InfraGard. Terms like 'practical utility' have been included in a 60-day emergency notice of information collection via the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Is your boss or cubicle colleague part of InfraGard? It's a private, non-profit organization run as a public-private partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Are they passing info back about you or your company?"

    They want to be ready for the next July 4 just in case they need someone capable to infiltrate into some alien computer system.

      Why do you think "Jobs" uses only turtlenecks? For us not to see the junction between the human head stolen from Woz's friend and his current alien cyborg body.

      The real Jobs is long dead. Next-dead.

    Who do we contact in the InfraGuard if we find someone deploying Microsoft products on a LAN connected to the Internet? Jokers like that are costing the country billions of dollars in lost productivity each quarter. This InfraGuard is very much needed if it will help clear out the posers, cocksuckas and charlatans pretending to know something about IT while actually deploying Microsoft instead of IT.

    Lol, "Self-identified as IT specialists" indeed. Thats one funny document. What would they need that kind of information for ? To evaluate bragging rights ?

      The FBI has never contacted you in any way, shape or form, other than through this post. You are advised to retract your statement and apologize, otherwise legal action will be brought against you. Thank you.

      Have a nice day.

    I note that the web developers of InfraGaurd don't know how to change their favicon.ico from the sun logo.

    Nice to see they're using Sun and Unix, I suppose, but who leaves the sun logo there?

    The part I don't understand is why anyone would voluntarily become a part of InfraGrad and start "sharing information" about others in the first place.

    Because, if you're not in the InfraGuard then you must be an InfraRed.
