Its primary role was and still remains to administer as\u00a0well as ensure that the Federal Election Campaign Act is followed and enforced to the letter. The\u00a0act is the one which oversees the financing of all federal elections. As for the FEC, its primary duty\u00a0is to disclose all the campaign financial information. Things such as the limits and prohibitions of\u00a0campaign funds fall under FEC. Even the public funding of US presidential election is regulated by\u00a0FEC.<\/p>\n<p>Even after being given such important mandate and after being placed on such a high pedestal by the\u00a0American public, FEC seems to hesitate in releasing its findings on a recent security system audit.<\/p>\n<p>The audit which was conducted at the cost of the tax-payer was supposed to give a detailed look\u00a0into how security management of FEC computer systems and networks work. The study as it turns\u00a0out paints a grim picture of how FEC\u2019s computer system and networks was infiltrated by Chinese\u00a0hackers in 2013. This is according to a report by Center for the Public Integrity.<\/p>\n<p>The report which was euphemized as NIST by FEC staff, gives a detailed list of the things that\u00a0haven\u2019t been going right in the online security front of this independent agency. The NIST gives\u00a0recommendations on ways to correct the many flaws within the FEC computer systems. These\u00a0recommendations are in line with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)\u00a0computer security procedures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A famous quote by Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis is engraved at the front door of The\u00a0Federal Election Commission. \u2018Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants\u2019 the quote says.
