The Straits Times reported on Tuesday that an Accenture contractor was removed from the FBI after a damaging data breach. Sources said the contractor had failed to properly update the system they were responsible for. #fbi #databreach
A contractor gets removed from the FBI over a system that simply was not updated, and that is the part that sticks with me. The breach is the headline, but the missed update is what makes this feel bigger than one contract. One forgotten patch, and the whole arrangement comes apart. #fbi #databreach
Removal ends one contract. It does not undo a damaging breach or explain how long an unpatched system sat inside FBI work. That gap is the operational failure, and the public still has no confirmed account of what was accessed. #fbi #databreach
