We Knew It All Along – The IRS Are A Bunch Of Screwups
Posted by admin on August 3, 2007 · 4 Comments
How can you get secret information such as passwords from the IRS? Well, you just call and ask of course.
In a government study, 102 calls were made to IRS employees asking for sensitive information after prending to have a computer problem. In 61 of the calls, the brilliant government employees complied with requests for usernames and that the password be changed to something the caller specified.
Feel safe now?
OMG, are you serious? That’s simply unbelievable. I always felt unsafe, but now even more so! >:XX
Unfortunately, totally serious.
I have long suspected that Revenue Canada (our equivalent of the IRS) is not competent enough to do something like that. But then again, maybe that’s just what they want us to think.
Wow, that is really screwed up indeed. I always knew their security measures are bad but not like this
