MARYLAND STATE AGENCIES THREATENED BY CYBERATTACKS

ANNAPOLIS – Maryland government entities have suffered at least six cyberattacks since the beginning of 2013, according to incident reports from the Department of Information Technology.

The heavily redacted reports, obtained by Capital News Service through a Maryland Public Information Act request, reveal that data-hungry hackers and scammers aren’t only going after retailers like Target and Neiman Marcus — they’re targeting state agencies.

“Our government doesn’t move as quickly as the private sector … and the private sector isn’t moving as quickly as it should be,” Sen. Catherine Pugh, D-Baltimore, said in an interview.

Shows what you get for going for the lowest price contractor and providing gimme jobs to the unqualified under the guise of providing them an equal opportunity.....

Try selecting based on quality of work and experience based capability and get rid of your unqualified/underperformers instead of affirmative action - you'll be amazed at the difference
