Unemployment Web Site Is Designed For A Vulnerable
While numerous media reports coque iphone 11 have discussed how the State of New Jersey reliance on a mainframe running 40 year old COBOL code has adversely impacted its processing of unemployment insurance claims, an outdated web based interface to the same system coque iphone 6 vistaprint may be creating security vulnerabilities as well.
