Report finds Colorado state computers vulnerable to hacker attack

Chris Halsne reports:

A just-released audit finds that Colorado state computer systems are vulnerable to a cyber attack.

The report mirrors the results of a year-long FOX31 Denver investigation.

We found gaping holes in security, some of which exposed the Social Security and bank account numbers of state employees and contractors.

Monday, the State Auditor`s Office blamed the Governor`s Office of Information Technology for creating an, “environment ripe for breach by an external attacker or internal employee.”
