Network Insecurities at the FBI
The FBI has lousy security against insider attacks, according to a GAO report.
Insider attacks are hard to defend against. One of the most important defenses is a good audit trail, so that when something happens you can figure out who did it.

In the past the FBI has been scrutinize for lack of infrastructure and networking that would ensure direct and accurate communication for all its field offices and computer networks. I am not surprised that the lack of standardization of its computers and networks has contributed to this security problem.
A single disgruntled agent or IT expert could bring the system to its knees.
