Police probing IT contractors for House Dems over ?unauthorized? computer access | Fox News

U.S. Capitol Police are probing the activities of several IT contractors who worked for dozens of House Democrats after they allegedly inappropriately accessed House computers, took congressional computer hardware and made questionable IT-related purchases on behalf of lawmakers.
House officials already have revoked the IT and access privileges for the five congressional IT contractors, as police investigate. No arrests have yet been made.
Fox News is told the contract employees, shared by about 40 House Democratic members, removed hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment from offices, including computers and servers. There also were bookkeeping and inventory irregularities where the employees would purchase equipment at one price, bill the congressional office for another and potentially pocket the difference.

Looks like the Russians are at it again. :2razz: Seriously, the Congress needs to scrutinizes contractors better.
