Virginia Governor Announces Review of Computer Outage
Virginia Governor Announces Review of Computer Outage

Government contracting giant Northrop Grumman Corp. will pay for an
independent inquiry into a recent computer outage that kept people from
getting drivers licenses and paying their taxes and delayed some welfare
services.
McDonnell also announced Thursday that Department of Motor Vehicles
offices will take the rare step of opening on Labor Day to accommodate the
backlog of people unable to get their licenses since the outage hit Aug.
25.
The governor, clearly irked by the failure that hampered 26 of 89 state
agencies, said he and the General Assembly's investigative arm, the Joint
Legislative Audit and Review Commission, will choose who does the outside
assessment.
"It was a failure of hardware, a board made by one of the subcontractors
that has gone through literally tens of millions of hours of service at
units around the country and has never had a failure. That's what they've
told us," McDonnell told reporters Thursday afternoon. "But it failed."
"Any interruption of service like this is absolutely unacceptable," the
governor said.

Much data the agencies use was corrupted during the crash. State, Northrop
Grumman and other computer subcontractors are trying to restore the lost
information.
