The government has said that a company called GlobalShield didn't do a good job keeping three important places safe. This happened last month, and some people are worried about it. The company didn't follow the rules and didn't check their workers properly.
When people asked workers at GlobalShield about their jobs, almost half of them said they cared more about making money than keeping things safe. Investigators found 23 cases where workers lied about their job skills and 12 times when safety rules were broken.
GlobalShield also had big problems with their security. They let people go into areas that were supposed to be very safe, and their cameras and computers didn't work right. During tests, the company couldn't find 89 out of 100 pretend break-ins.
Because of these problems, the Department of Defense has stopped GlobalShield's big contract worth $2.8 billion. This affects 3,428 workers at 17 places. This is the third time a security company has been stopped in the last two years, which worries people about private military companies.
In the future, the government will check these companies more closely. They'll have to do audits every three months, check their workers better, and get special training in cybersecurity. This could make things more expensive but should help keep everyone safer.
GlobalShield might've to pay $142 million in fines, and three of their top bosses could face legal troubles starting next month.
