Around a third of servers at Transport for New South Wales need security patches, some dating back to 2007. But IBM, which provides IT services to the agency, doesn’t have enough people dedicated to the the job in the required timeframe or in a manner that will let the agency operate as it desires. It is unclear what applications run on the un-patched servers, or their sensitivity, but TfNSW has mobilised an effort to quickly catch up on its patching. IBM, however, has found itself with just a “skeleton crew” at the agency due to personal circumstances and staff being moved to other, higher-priority jobs. The company has therefore not been able to implement all of TfNSW’s desired changes or keep up with its client's requests, leaving many servers without patches. Some of the fixes were released as far back as 2007. We understand IBM is not responsible for the tardy patching effort.
Just... Too... FUNNY!!! And scary at the same time. Need more popcorn and chilled beer for this floorshow!
