From the linked article:
A design bug also revealed information about the requester with no safeguards for personally identifiable information.
The problem was with the feature that allowed anyone to search existing FOIA requests. The idea is that people can see what has already been requested, by whom, and in some cases what may have been provided. When users click through to the individual request, the description field is withheld, pending agency approval. Yet those descriptions were viewable in full on the search results page, including if Americans had included their or others’ Social Security numbers or any other personal information.
The FOIA clearinghouse is maintained by Environmental Protection Agency, which provides the IT resources to keep it up. It is up to each government agency that uses the portal, however, to take the care to input the information correctly.
Let’s see, maintained by the EPA; reveals who has requested the information; reveals what information has been requested. In other words: Targeting information.
Well done, EPA!
Freedom of Information Act
Orwellian name, in this instance…
So we have an ex-CIA agent’s(Democrat, of course) personnel file illegally leaked, now this. On top of Omarosa running around the White House taping everyone from the President to the landscapers, Trump with an unsecured cellphone, babbling top-secret level material to high-ranking Russians. It’s as if this Administration doesn’t understand security except when it’s to cover their asses.
INCOMPETENCE AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS.
Need I say more. Unfortunately, there aren’t big enough caps on this site to scream this point loud enough.
Amazingly, all the victims of this data breach were Democrat’s. What are the odds of that?
Doesn’t get any more transparent than that.
So, this was designed inside Scotty’s soundproof phone booth?
Only the Best and Brightest.
I thought we understood that this is how Presnit ran his business. All mistakes, both real and imaginary, benefit the business. His errors are excused away.
