Gov’t data vulnerable to cyberattack

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Gleaner - With sensitive top-secret data becoming more susceptible to hackers in cyberspace around the world, the Jamaican Government could easily become the next victim of this global threat.
Julian Robinson, state minister in the Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining and chairman of Parliament's joint select committee on cybercrimes, said as it stands now, the Government's internal communications are not under the strongest protection.
In fact, Robinson said it was difficult to indicate the number of occasions on which hackers have managed to access the Government's database in the past.
