Good job, FBI: FBI unsure if missing notebook PCs contain sensitive data.
The IG’s “most troubling” discovery was “the FBI could not determine in many cases whether the lost or stolen laptop computers contained sensitive or classified information.”
The FBI’s data was incomplete, auditors found. Of the 160 notebooks that disappeared between February 2002 and September 2006, employees filed only 152 forms to provide information about whether the notebooks contained sensitive or classified information. This information could include counterintelligence or counterterrorism case information, personal identifying information or classified information on FBI operations, the report said.
Somebody needs to tell the IT department at the FBI how to use Google. We have the technology to protect information on laptops so they could be more sure about what was on those drives. How about disk encryption, LoJack for Laptops, and even remote data wiping. If they can't get something like this right, then it's time to worry about counterterrorism.
