A pair of unnamed systems administrators know that the House of Representatives can be hacked - because they’ve done it. An anonymous memo sent to interested parties and leaked to Roll Call said that the systems used by Members of Congress are vulnerable to security breaches:
The memo, obtained by CQ Roll Call, indicates points around the House office buildings where individuals with sophisticated technology expertise and malicious intent could tap into the computer system and wreak havoc.
“Think of your house,” said the second administrator, in discussing his colleague’s report. “You have a front door and a back door. If someone has the keys to either door, they can get inside. If they know what they’re looking for, they can take it.”
While the information gleaned from such hacks might be as interesting as reading transcripts from CSPAN 3, the memo warns that sensitive material might be exposed.
