(OP) User ID: 79559413 United States 12/25/2020 12:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you think it was an inside job? The thing that kills me is Washington is a high tech state with Microsoft and Amazon among other high tech companies, lots of IT people in the work force, yet the unemployment web site was down and crashing for 6 months no matter how many times they "fixed" it. Lately it's been better but actually it's more like 9 months of crashes and outages later. So their system was vulnerable to exploits and fraud and couldn't handle the necessary traffic no matter what they did until just the last couple of weeks. Seems pathetic that they couldn't draw on the tech labor pool of their own state to make the web site safe and functional. |
