Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Aug. 6, 1999
Report No. AIMD-99-242
Subject
Summary:

A 1997 GAO audit cited several vulnerabilities in the Bureau of the Public Debt's computer systems. (See GAO/AIMD-99-2, Oct. 1998.) These systems, some of which are run by the Federal Reserve Banks, process investments in and redemptions of Treasury securities, generate interest payments, account for the resulting federal debt, and generate financial reports to the public and the federal government. This follow-up report found that the Bureau has addressed most of the vulnerabilities identified in the 1997 audit. However, the Bureau needs to take steps to reduce its risk from threats posed by unintentional errors or omissions or intentional modification, disclosure, or destruction of data and programs by disgruntled employees, intruders, or hackers. For fiscal year 1998, the Bureau has already taken steps to resolve the new vulnerabilities GAO identified, but additional actions are required to fully address the vulnerabilities discussed in this report.
