Federal Employee Visited 9,000 Porn Sites in Less Than 7 Months, Auditor Found
NextGov: No classified information was exposed after a U.S. Geological Survey employee with “an extensive history” of watching pornography at work infected the organization’s networks with Russian malware, an Interior Department watchdog found.
Between Sept. 26, 2016 and March 13, 2017, the employee used his work computer to visit more than 9,000 adult websites, many of which linked to Russian web pages containing malware, investigators found. That averages out to roughly 79 different porn sites every business day.
