Another year, another F for the US Department of Homeland Security. That's the word from the House Government Reform Committee, which has just issued its most recent scorecard for cybersecurity among government agencies. The DHS received the lowest possible score for the third time in its three-year history, and is joined at the bottom by the Department of Defense. If you're an American, how safe does that make you feel?Several of their "cybersecurity czars" stepped down after only a few months, complaining of the utter lack of security.
