What is this you speak of? People working for the Government being held accountable for their actions? Heresy!

A few years ago I informed the BPS (filed a report) and emailed the Premier that the Government’s e-mail system was hacked. The Premier never responded. It was a simple task for me to trace the hacker’s IP address in the fake email claiming to be the Premier back to an IP address in Pakistan. BPS could do nothing since the person was in a foreign country.

At no charge, I put together a list for the BPS of simple security protocols to implement in conjunction with Bermuda’s Internet Service Providers to run up the chain of command. Said protocols would have significantly reduced hacking threats, spam, phishing, malware, ransomware, etc. It went nowhere.

The bigger question is: How many times have Government IT systems been hacked and no one noticed?

When will we read that people in Government were fired for allowing this to happen? Can anyone even name the ICT’s CIO? (trick question)

When are we going to read that the Government’s IT Cybersecurity Expert’s contract was terminated?
