Friday, 17 April 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Whistleblowers providing what they are assured is information treated as "confidential" pursuant to federal law exposing Federal Government "waste, fraud and abuse" to Inspectors General (IGs) of most federal agencies including the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, the Treasury and many others actually are subject to having their complaints and personal information including names, addresses and telephone numbers transmitted unencrypted via Internet exposing them to danger of career or other retaliation whether from the agencies themselves or even under the Obama Administration to Department of Justice (DOJ) overzealous prosecution not to mention tipsters facing obvious threats to life, limb, family or any number of other devastating consequences who might choose to send Internet communications to the unsecured State Department website offering up to a $10 million reward for terrorist information an ACLU review confirmed as accurate by federal government officials has disclosed leading to contact with the ACLU by DOJ IG Michael Horowitz regarding these most serious federal lapses.
Among those that do encrypt their entire websites are the White House and CIA as well most major well-known technology firms especially in the wake of Edward J. Snowden's revelations disclosing the staggering extent of unconstitutional especially NSA domestic mass surveillance and metadata collection abuses perpetrated against the American people (assuming those major technology firms did not already know the full extent of and/or participate in those abuses themselves previously). Readers interested in significantly more information including the long list they should be aware of some of the federal agency IG's who do not have secure website Internet complaint and other transmissions can go to the link below.
