The Department of Defense is terrible at cybersecurity. That’s the assessment of the Pentagon's Inspector General (IG), who did a deep dive into the American military’s ability to keep its cyber shit on lockdown. The results aren’t great. “As of September 30, 2018, there were 266 open cybersecurity‑related recommendations, dating as far back as 2008,” the Inspector General said in a new report.

The new report is a summary of the IG’s investigations into Pentagon cybersecurity over the previous year. It looked at 20 unclassified and four classified reports that detailed problems with cybersecurity and followed up to see if they’d been addressed. Previously, the IG had recommended the Pentagon take 159 different steps to improve security. It only took 19 of them.
