China Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Porn-Watching Employee Infected Government Networks With Russian Malware, IG Says An Interior Department watchdog recommended the U.S. Geological Survey ratchet up internet security protocols after discovering its networks had been infected with malware from pornography sites. The agency’s inspector general traced the malicious software to a single unnamed USGS employee, who reportedly used a government-issued computer to visit some 9,000 adult video sites, according to a report published Oct. 17. Many of the prohibited pages were linked to Russian websites containing malware, which was ultimately downloaded to the employee’s computer and used to infiltrate USGS networks, auditors found. The investigation found the employee saved much of the pornographic material on an unauthorized USB drive and personal Android cellphone, both of which were connected to their computer against agency protocols. The employee’s cell phone was also infected with malware. “Our digital forensic examination revealed that [the employee] had an extensive history of visiting adult pornography websites” that hosted malware, the IG wrote. “The malware was downloaded to [the employee’s] government laptop, which then exploited the USGS’ network.” Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 9,000 different sites? Bruh, you got a problem if you can’t get what you came for without 1 or 2 different sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can barely name 300 porn sites let alone 9000 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsFan44 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I'm guessing 9000 clicks. Still pretty stupid to use your work computer. Annual government IT training, no porn, no gambling etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I have a question. Is there enough porn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 9000 can't be right. If you do the math and someone works for 240 days per year (excluding weekends, holidays and vacations), that would mean if he visited 3 sites per day it would take him more than 10 years to reach that many.
