This should be no surprise...at our most recent California Counties Information Services Directors Association meeting (CCISDA) the question was posed, "while we are watching and monitoring everyone, who's watching us?" There needs to be contingency plans for such internal attacks or bad behavior. This is not the first and certainly, will not be the last of this type of incident; it is an obvious abuse of power and knowledge.
