US Postal Service Suspends Telecommuting Following Massive Breach

Posted by Soulskill on from the you-can't-go-home-again dept.

An anonymous reader writes: The folks at the USPS have responded to the recent breach that exposed data on 800K employees and another some 2.8 million customers. They have suspended telecommuting for all employees until further notice while they replace their VPN with a more secure version. "Additionally, the postal service will upgrade some of its equipment and systems in the coming weeks and months as part of a broad security overhaul in response to the breach."

    Actually, we go to war regularly. I'm getting tired of it.

    I don't post much, don't read much on here anymore either, but I can't resist...TSP report? Try TPS. 800k not delivering the mail? Try data RELEASED on 800k employees, not by faulty VPN configs USED by 800k employees. PTPP VPN? Try PPTP. For such a self righteous "we're always right" bunch of users, you people sure aren't putting much effort into this.
