Bentley fires high-ranking finance official amid computer breach
Gov. Robert Bentley has fired a high-ranking official in the state department of finance and placed a second on leave after concerns of a computer security breach emerged.
The breach came to light following an investigation by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, according to a letter Bentley wrote June 10 to the FBI.
Bentley has also requested that the FBI partner with the state of Alabama "to provide appropriate audit and investigative personnel to assist ALEA in determining the full scope" of the breach, according to the Bentley letter.
ALEA released the Bentley letter to AL.com on Friday as well as the termination letter to James Nolin, chief information officer in the finance department, of his "probationary state employment" and the letter advising Rex McDowell, assistant director of finance information/administrative services, that he has been placed on leave.
