CBP Cybersecurity Failures Left Travelers' Personal Info at Risk, IG Says ploy/iStock.com email July 21, 2021 04:43 PM ET A new internal watchdog report finds Customs and Border Protection failed to conduct required cybersecurity activities for its Mobile Passport Control applications. Customs and Border Protection placed the personally identifiable information of travelers at risk by failing to ensure its Mobile Passport Control applications were protected from cybersecurity threats, according to the Homeland Security Department’s internal watchdog. According to a recent DHS Office of Inspector General audit, the organization charged with border control did not scan its apps for vulnerabilities, did not detect vulnerabilities identified in scans, did not complete security and privacy compliance reviews, and did not manage its system configuration adequately.
