Kansas City

I read an interesting article about Kansas City, MO and how they were audited to show weaknesses in their cyber security protection. Nineteen different departments were audited. Apparently they have access to your birthday, social security, bank account information, medical information and credit card numbers. The weaknesses weren't disclosed in the article I read but apparently some departments may have information that you wouldn't expect them to have but he didn't go into much detail. A great thing came from this audit, they have are making an incident response plan for what to do if any departments and any information is breached. I wonder how many cities have a plan like this in place and how many NEED to be audited. It's very easy to get information, especially if a certain seemingly unknown department has critical information that could be easily accessed. This should be FIRST priority when a city starts taking money and information from it's residents.
