IRC Takes Quick Action When Maine Bill Status Public Website Hacked

dawjr — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 04:00:00 GMT

International Roll-Call® built the one of a kind Maine Bill Status application which was installed on the Maine public web site nearly ten years ago. Just recently the public web site was randomly hacked.
Upon notification, International Roll-Call® took immediate action and worked with the Maine Legislature to review and enhance the security protocol in an effort to avoid any future threats to the web site and bill status application.
International Roll-Call® was requested by the Maine Legislature to update other bill status web pages created by staff and used internally by members of the Senate and House. The Maine Bill Status application is up and running at http://www.mainelegislature.org/LawMakerWeb/search.asp
If you have any questions or concern please don't hesitate to give us a call.

We are happy to announce some additional functionality to our website! The first thing you will notice when viewing the main page is that the interactive map is now fully active. Clicking on any state on the map will take you to a page where you can navigate to view installations in that state, ranging from cities and localities to our state house systems and international installations. Each profile gives a brief synopsis of the IRC products installed there as well as photographs of certain system elements. We hope you enjoy viewing these.
For our existing customers, we have added more functions to the customer portal page. Now, when you log in using your username and password, the portal page not only allows you to download and upload files but also allows for reporting a problem or sending a message with a question to IRC.

Recently, the Maryland House and Senate were looking to upgrade some of their system components and improve their process by utilizing IRC’s Session voting software . The upgraded system components include new member voting buttons with beautiful new plates as well as upgraded computers and software functionality, including the Request to Speak software .

IRC also integrated the System Control Unit and other equipment into a rack along with the page control system and re-lamped the old incandescent page indicators with long-lasting LEDs.
