So the Treasury Department was “hacked” via a cyber attack.

Common sense would tell us to get these critical government offices off of the internet so they can’t be hacked by anyone. Let’s be real. The federal government agencies, along with state and local agencies are generally dumber than a box of rocks when it comes to IT stuff. They always think they are the smartest in the room, when in fact they can’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

Don’t forget The CGI Group, from...Canada.

They do lots of our federal government’s software. They did the big fail Obamacare website in 2013.

A top cyber security architect in the civilian financial markets can command $150k to $200K. You are not going to attract top talent at GS pay grades.
