The government’s contribution to fraud

In a recent article in ComputerWorld, it’s reported that our government, mostly through negligence, carelessness and stupidity, have helped contribute to Credit Card fraud, Identity Theft and other forms of financial crimes.

Now that these government agencies are being pressed to release this information, the truth (as the government tells it) is coming out. The numbers are sickening.

I have to wonder whatever happened to accountability.
