NSA's brilliant plan to stop future leaks by sysadmins:
Fire 90% of their sysadmins
|
About 1000 other NSA employees and contractors
have as wide access to NSA systems as Edward Snowden had. Soon, 900 of them
will be looking for new jobs. I suppose the remaining 100 will have to do
actual work 100% of the time now, rather than just 10% of the time like most
government employees. It's too bad this new policy won't apply to ALL
government positions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NSA gets burned by a sysadmin, decides to burn 90% of its sysadmins Need to end planet-wide-snooping leaks? That'll do the trick, thinks US spymaster By Jasper Hamill, 9th August 2013 The NSA has announced its brainwave to end further leaks about its secret operations by disaffected employees: it will simply sack 90 per cent of all its sysadmins. The US surveillance agency's spyboss General Keith Alexander told a computer security conference in New York that automating much of his organisation's work - such as snooping on anyone with an internet connection on the planet - would make it more secure. The inner workings of the NSA's massive PRISM and XKEYSCORE programmes were exposed to the world by Edward Snowden, an ex-CIA techie and NSA contractor who had access to highly classified material, along with about 1,000 other sysadmins. Gen Alexander said: "What we're in the process of doing - not fast enough - is reducing our system administrators by about 90 percent." ~~~~~ CONTINUE AT: ~~~~~ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/09/snowden_nsa_to_sack_90_per_cent_sysadmins_keith_alexander/ |
