New Mexico Secretary of State Mary Herrera’s statements to the contrary, an IT employee in her office who’s on leave and under investigation for what Herrera calls “potential criminal violations” says a key vulnerability remains in the agency’s Web site.

It appears that searchable databases and other parts of the secretary of state’s Web site are now back online.
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) searchable database is back online, as is the system for UCC filings. And the searchable databases of campaign contributors and candidates and political committees receiving contributions are also back online.

Days after coming back online, most computer systems that enable database searches and Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings via the secretary of state’s Web site appear to be down again today.

New Mexico Secretary of State Mary Herrera said Wednesday that she was “optimistic” that the computer systems in her office that enable database searches and Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings via her Web site would be back online Thursday.
As of the publication of this posting, the UCC filings database is operational.
