The Office of Personnel Management's Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing system is offline now after the agency says it found a security vulnerability. The site will be offline for four to six weeks. OPM hasn't said the discovery came out of the 30-day cyber sprint called for by federal CIO Tony Scott. Karen Evans, executive director of the U.S. Cyber Challenge and former e-gov administrator at the Office of Management and Budget, is watching the agencies respond to Tony Scott's call. She tells In Depth with Francis Rose, how the OPM breach is changing the way agencies protect their data.
