Secret Service Computer Dinosaurs

Secret Service Computers Only Work at 60 Percent Capacity; Agency Uses 1980s Mainframe.  ABC.

“Currently, 42 mission-oriented applications run on a 1980s IBM mainframe with a 68 percent performance reliability rating. Networks, data systems, applications, and IT security do not meet current operational requirements. The IT systems lack appropriate bandwidth to run multiple applications to effectively support USSS offices and operational missions around the world.”

Impressive the Secret Service is still able to do its job considering its dinosaur system.
