Feds pull the domain name plug on State of California

What are these folks thinking???

The Federal government pulled the plug on the ca.gov Web domain used by the State of California on Tuesday, setting into motion a chain of events that threatened to grind government business to a standstill within the state.

State IT staffers were able to fix the problem within a few hours, narrowly averting disaster, but the situation shed light on what observers are calling a shocking weakness in the state’s IT infrastructure.

Read on and find out what caused this whole mess.

I like the quote in the article:

"That's hard core..."

I can understand though. If hackers had gotten in and were using it for porn, how long would it be before someone with even more nefarious desires moved in?

Having said that, it was too drastic. Surely, with all the smarts around, they could have resolved it without that drastic step.
