Air-Traffic Control System Penetrable By Computer Hackers.
USA Today (9/28, Morrison) reported, "The nation's air-traffic control=
system could be vulnerable to hackers because the Federal Aviation=
Administration has failed to adequately address 'pervasive weaknesses in=
its computer programs,' a congressional report to be released Wednesday=
contends." USA added, "In addition, General Accounting Office (GAO)=
investigators found the agency has not performed adequate background=
checks on computer experts hired to spot system vulnerabilities or on=
foreign nationals hired to tackle Y2K problems. 'As a result,' the report=
reads, 'FAA allowed and is continuing to allow contractors to undertake=
sensitive assessments of the weaknesses in its systems without sufficient=
assurance that the individuals performing these assessments are reliable=
and trustworthy.'"
