Hackers Find 65 Bugs in the Pentagon’s Travel Management System


According to Nextgov (May 30, 2018) hackers found 65 bugs in the Pentagon’s Travel Management System, 28 of which were deemed highly severe or critical. Defense employees use DTS to authorize, reserve and receive reimbursements for work-related travel. The system processes more than 25,000 transactions every day.

Although the Nextgov article does not say whether these bugs resulted in a breach of DOD employees' personal information, it should be assumed that "highly severe or critical" vulnerabilities in any system containing PII puts that information at risk.
