Following news reports that a senior official at the Homeland Security Department appears to have obtained her academic degrees from an unaccredited diploma mill, several members of Congress are seeking to learn how background checks and security clearances failed to flag the questionable credentials.

Microsoft Flaw Could Affect Homeland Security

AccountingWEB US - Aug-4-2003 - In July, Microsoft announced a "critical" flaw in several of its operating systems?including Windows XP?and now the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is expressing worries about the vulnerabilities to cyber attacks.
Hackers got to work immediately upon learning of the flaw that also appeared in Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0 Server and Windows Server 2003, with experts saying that the window of opportunity to place security patches on the flaws is quickly closing.

Perhaps a new law enforcement agency needs to be formed to deal with internet/technology/computers.

A new agency? don't know about that, most agencies they have now are run by asswipes that haven't even come close to solving one problem they were founded for.
