What's your password?

MI6
There are many news articles which I peruse on a daily basis, but only a few make me chuckle with quiet amusement.

Everyone knows of our Intelligence services,such as MI5, MI6, SOCA etc. Well what you might not know is that a new head of MI6 was recently appointed and his incredibly astute and obviously bright wife decided to post personal details and pictures of the family on guess which site? Yes you guessed it, Facebook. You might ask yourself, so what?. Let me break it down for you.

This guy is the head of MI6. Those who MI6 target could easily use those details to for example hold this guy to ransom or even worse, in order to thwart any investigation of their activities. But more importantly, MI6 is responsible for security, so it's a pretty serious security breach to have details of a serious senior figure published for all to see.

What's even more alarming is the fact that someone appointed to such an important position can allow for such laspses in judgement and plain old common sense. Let hope its a one time glitch.
