The FBI is investigating a major information technology firm with a $1.7
billion Department of Homeland Security contract after it allegedly failed
to detect cyber break-ins traced to a Chinese-language Web site and then
tried to cover up its deficiencies, according to congressional
investigators.

At the center of the probe is Unisys Corp., a company that in 2002 won a $1
billion deal to build, secure and manage the information technology
networks for the Transportation Security Administration and DHS
headquarters. In 2005, the company was awarded a $750 million follow-on
contract.

On Friday, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson
(D-Miss.) called on DHS Inspector General Richard Skinner to launch his own
investigation.
