Priceless info leaked on Facebook
MI6 rushed into an investigation last night after it was reported that valuable and secret information was leaked on the popular social media network, Facebook.
Within the London network there are roughly 3 million users however this does not count for anyone outside of that network who also may of been looking. The sensitive information that was posted contained pictures and information of where they work and live.
Sir John Sawers is due to take over as the Chief Of Secret Intelligence Service in November which primarily controls all foreign spying operations. I think that the family are extremely lucky in that the information was taken down very quickly and hopefully no one of any importance saw the facebook profile. That is not to say that the family was placed under computer surveillance or vehicle tracking but it just means that they understand the basic of what they can and can’t do. Spy gadgets aside it is important to understand the threat with such powerful social media website and it is important to recognise their capability to reach so many people so fast. This what was obviously so worrying.
Thank god the information was only available to the Facebook network for a short space of time but there is no telling who may of seen that sensitive data.
So, what can you do to avoid this little problem? Well in order for only your close friends to see your profile content you need to edit the privacy settings from within your own account otherwise anyone can see the vital information that you are displaying on your profile.
The fact is that do we really want someone this 'clumsy' to be in charge of our foreign affairs on such a massive scale?
