Secret Service Computer System Has Only 60% Uptime
You think your computer system is slow and unreliable at your work? A classified review of the US Secret Service’s computer system is only fully available about 60% of the time and relies on a mainframe that dates back to the 80’s. Ouch.
Sources tell ABC News that the Secret Service was so plagued by computer problems that the agency invited the National Security Agency to formally review its information technology systems. The Secret Service's databases are outdated and users are at times unable to conduct searches from one system to another.
