US Government's Login.gov System Vulnerable to Cyberattacks, Say Auditors

The US government's Login.gov identity verification system could be vulnerable to a cyberattack or a simple routine IT incident, according to auditors. The US Government Accountability Office reported on Tuesday that Login.gov, managed by the federal government, has not demonstrated that its backup testing policy is actually used or effective. This could lead to serious problems in the event of a cyberattack or IT failure.
