‘Deficiencies’ that broke FCC commenting system in net neutrality fight detailed by GAO

‘Deficiencies’ that broke FCC commenting system in net neutrality fight detailed by GAO

Today marks the conclusion of a years-long saga that started when John Oliver did a segment on Net Neutrality that was so popular that it brought the FCC’s comment system to its knees. Two years later it is finally near addressing all the issues brought up in an investigation from the General Accountability Office.

The report covers numerous cybersecurity and IT issues, some of which the FCC addressed quickly, some not so quickly, and some it’s still working on.

“Today’s GAO report makes clear what we knew all along:  the FCC’s system for collecting public input has problems,” Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel told TechCrunch . “The agency needs to fully fix this mess because this is the way the FCC is supposed to take input from the public. But as this report demonstrates, we have real work to do.”

Here’s the basic timeline of events, which seem so long ago now:

Then it’s pretty quiet basically until today, when the report requested in 2017 was publicly released. A version with sensitive information (like exact software configurations and other technical information) was internally circulated in September, then revised for today’s release.

The final report is not much of a bombshell, since much of it has been telegraphed ahead of time. It’s a collection of criticisms of an outdated system with inadequate security and other failings that might have been directed at practically any federal agency, among which cybersecurity practices are notoriously poor.

The investigation indicates that the FCC, for instance, did not consistently implement security and access controls, encrypt sensitive data, update or correctly configure its servers, detect or log cybersecurity events, and so on. It wasn’t always a disaster (even well-run IT departments don’t always follow best practices), but obviously some of these shortcomings and cut corners led to serious issues like ECFS being overwhelmed.

More importantly, of the 136 recommendations made in the September report, 85 have been fully implemented now, 10 partially, and the rest are on track to be so.

That should not be taken to mean that the FCC has waited this whole time to update its commenting and other systems. In fact it was making improvements almost immediately after the event in May of 2017, but refused to describe them. Here are a few of the improvements listed in the GAO report:

Representative Frank Pallone (D-NJ), who has dogged the FCC on this issue since the beginning, issued the following statement:

I requested this report because it was clear, after the net neutrality repeal comment period debacle, that the FCC’s cybersecurity practices had failed. After more than two years of investigating, GAO agrees and found a disturbing lack of security that places the Commission’s information systems at risk… Until the FCC implements all of the remaining recommendations, its systems will remain vulnerable to failure and misuse.

Košarkaši Radničkog osigurali plasman u KLS

Košarkaši Radničkog osigurali plasman u KLS

Pobedom na gostovanju ekipi Pirota – 94:75 (25:15, 29:22, 20:17, 20:21), košarkaši Radničkog su četiri kola pre kraja takmičenja u Drugoj ligi Srbije osigurali plasman u viši rangtakmičja, Košarka

Već je prva četvrtina dala jasne smernice u kom pravcu će se ovaj meč odvijati. Šuterski veoma raspoloženi, Kragujevčani su tokom prve deonice stekli dvocifrenu prednost (25:15), koju su do odlaska na veliki odmor dodatno uvećali (57:34).

Predvođeni kapitenom Katićem, učenici Igora Todorovića nastavili su u istom ritmu i tokom treće deonice, pa su u poslednji kvartal ušli sa zalihom od dvadeset poena (74:54), koja je bila i više nego dovoljna da se upiše i deveti uzastopni, a ukupno dvadeseti trijumf u sezoni.

Raško Katić je još jednom odigrao kapitenski, te je pobedi svog tima doprineo sa 25 poena i 10 skokova. Drugi strelac kragujevačkog tima Andreja Stevanović je zbog povrede ovaj meč presedeo na klupi, ali ga je dostojno odmenio Lazar Marković sa 21 postignutim poenom. Odličan je bio i plejmejker Nikola Šućov, koji je ubacio 17 poena, dok je Ivan Nedeljković dodao 14.

U taboru domaćina prednjačio je Dušan Filipović sa 22 poena, Strahinja Stanković postigao je 15, a Martin Matović 12 poena.

Radnički je ovim trijumfom i teoretski obezbedio plasman u Košarkašku ligu Srbije, čime je ispunio cilj postavljen uoči samog početka sezone. U poslednja četiri kola Kragujevčane očekuje borba za očuvanje liderske pozicije na tabeli, kako bi na velika vrata ušli u viši rang takmičenja.

Narednog vikenda košarkaši Radničkog gostuju u Smederevskoj Palanci, gde će za rivala imati šestoplasiranu ekipu Mladosti.
