One time I was conducting research for my Grad. degree back in 1997 where I was looking a various State Department web sites for common configuration issues. I contacted the State Department IT staff about my findings and they treated me like an Id10T. Now when I found a security issue during my normal business dealings with the government I have decided not to inform them, because they do not listen. I also remember reporting a major security issue to a government agency about an attack coming into my network from France. I provided network traces, details where the attack came from and details about the attack. Two weeks later a major worm hit the Internet using the same details that I had given the goverment 2 weeks before.
