Just when I thought government workers had wised up about social media, along comes your story proving they're as dumb as the rest of us ("Federal Hill company patrols social networks to find spies," Jan. 6). After the Sony hacking debacle, one might have thought Defense Department personnel would eschew social media altogether.
I'm aware of what's displayed on Facebook and believe way too much is being shared. It's disgraceful State Department workers are posting their cat videos and other junk on line. Now state needs a bunch of guys in Baltimore to keep these fools safe. So much for national security.
Admiral Michael Rogers, head of the National Security Agency, pointed out we can anticipate a "serious cyber-attack against the infrastructure of the United States" and it will be "dramatic." Let's take his warning seriously. It's time the U.S. government forbids the use of social media completely.
