National Nuclear Security Agency can't account for 20 computers with sensitive information RAW STORY
Published: Sunday April 1, 2007
The Energy Department inspector general said Friday that the "office in charge of protecting American technical secrets about nuclear weapons from foreign spies is missing 20 desktop computers, at least 14 of which have been used for classified information," reports the New York Times.
"This is the 13th time in a little over four years that an audit has found that the department, whose national laboratories and factories do most of the work in designing and building nuclear warheads, has lost control over computers used in working on the bombs," writes Matthew Wald.
This is not the first time that computers involved in tracking nuclear information have gone missing. The current incident involves computers used in "tracking and countering efforts to steal bomb information."
"Problems with the control and accountability of desktop and laptop computers have plagued the department for a number of years," the Times quotes the Department of Energy report.
National Nuclear Security Agency director Linton F. Brooks was fired in January because of security concerns.
