A recent audit of Baltimore's IT department found that the agency lost important data during this year's ransomware attack due to poor storage practices.
Staff for the Baltimore City Information and Technology department (BCIT) routinely saved data on their local servers instead of backing it up on an external cloud system, according to a newly released audit. When the attack hit, some of that data was compromised by the malware.
As a result, data that was supposed to aid in the analysis of four performance measures — metrics meant to determine if the agency was meeting its goals in an efficient and cost-effective manner — could not be accounted for throughout the 2017-18 fiscal years, according to the report.

There is no audit of any department that Baltimore can pass, not an honest one.
Proves incompetent government in Baltimore. HOGAN should mandate a forensic audit and freeze all State tax dollars and Federal tax dollars until the forensic audit is completed with guidelines, strict oversight and strict penalties for using or not using these funds as set forth. Cummings needs to know his corruption is being halted in Maryland. HOGAN needs to do his job and quit spending like a Democrat.
Northwest Woodsman: Just take a look at who is in charge. There, that explains it.
