The security problems at Los Alamos National Laboratory just keep piling
up. Today, POGO issued a press release confirming another breach involving
"unauthorized release of classified data via email" that occured last week.
The Lab has officially designated the incident an Impact Measurement
Index-1 (IMI-1), the highest threat level, despite an attempt to downgrade
it to a lower level.

Despite recent congressional investigations, Dept. of Energy chastisement,
and promises of improving, the Lab's frequency of security failures appears
to be actually increasing over previous years - this latest one being the
fourth so far this year. The vast majority of these failures have been in
the area of cybersecurity, including today's revelation.
