On Wednesday the Senate issued a report noting that "The very effort to
fix Y2K problems has left the nation's businesses and federal government
wide open to a broad spectrum of international attacks on its computer
systems. The government and the private sector hired contractors --
many of them from outside the United States -- to address the
'millennium bug' without regard for domestic and financial security.
That has left US computer networks vulnerable to maneuvers that could
harm the nation's economy and its leading companies, says the report.
In fact, some security firms told a Senate Committee of finding hidden
'trap doors' left behind by contractors, and there is no way to know if
they were left for benign or malicious reasons."
