Postal Service IG examines cyber incident data

Postal Service IG examines cyber incident data - Nextgov: "The inspector general of the U.S. Postal Service is auditing a database that tracks USPS cyber incidents to determine whether the information it has been collecting is reliable, said agency officials in the Office of the Inspector General.
The review, which the IG's office launched on Nov. 22, comes at a time when officials are increasingly concerned about a new computer worm, Stuxnet, that has the power to cripple industrial operations on a global scale. For the Postal Service, which has a role in virtually every citizen's life, a systemwide outage could undermine the economic viability of the country, as well as public confidence, security experts said"
