A new report by a US government watchdog group on so-called âinsider threatsâ has been released amid widespread attacks by its mainstream media on Chinese scientists widely accused of being spies.
The report said the federal agency tasked with overseeing Washingtonâs nuclear secrets has yet to create an âinsider threatâ program, even though itâs been a decade since it was ordered to do so by presidential decree.
âThe Department of Energy [DOE] failed to implement all the measures required for its Insider Threat Program more than 8 years after the DOE established it in 2014, based on multiple independent evaluations,â the document, prepared by the US Government Accountability Office, states. .
In particular, it was specified that the DOE has failed to implement seven necessary actions, even after independent reviewers made nearly 50 findings and recommendations to help the department fully implement its program.
In addition, âthe DOE does not formally track or report its actions to enforce them,â the report adds, noting that âwithout tracking and reporting its actions to address the findings and recommendations of the independent reviewers, the DOE cannot ensure that it has fully addressed the deficiencies identified in the programmeâ.
According to the US government watchdog, this means that the DOE âdoes not ensure that employees are trained to identify and report potential insider threatsâ and âdid not clearly define the responsibilities of contractors in this program.â
The report was released amid widespread accusations by mainstream US government media that scientists of Chinese descent are trying to get US nuclear secrets out of the country.
In recent years, Chinese scientists have increasingly come under the crosshairs of federal investigators, who in some cases have charged the researchers with multiple criminal offenses for minor omissions on visa applications.
In response, a Department of Energy spokesperson wrote that they took a series of steps to further bolster the departmentâs capabilities to âdeter, detect, and effectively mitigate insider threats across the nuclear sectorâ.
However, the agency noted that the DOE has âa highly vetted workforce and maintains programs specifically designed to prevent or minimize insider threats, while leveraging long-standing safeguards against misuse of critical assets and resources.â of the arsenalâ.
The Obama administration established the program âInternal Threatâ in 2011after Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning helped reveal evidence of massive wrongdoing by US forces, including probable war crimes.
