It seems our state Highway Department had an unprotected FTP server....not such a good idea.
Video and audio files from an al-Qaida-linked Web site were discovered on an Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department computer server, according to a private company that monitors such activity.
Morons. The material was turned over to the proper authorities, who are investigating how it got there.
The agency also is reviewing whether it should use non-secure servers, [department spokesman] Ort said.
I should think that would be a short review, unless of course you were a complete and total incompetent idiot.
Sheesh.

Doesn't stuff like that just make you cringe? Our tax dollars at work.

It's especially cringe-worthy, because it probably means that they have unprotected proxies and open mail relays as well. Which means more spam for me.
Double argh!
