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.”

Over the last 15 years, similar scandals have enveloped the Environmental Protection Agency, Securities and Exchange Commission and IRS. Last year, a D.C.-area news network uncovered “egregious on-the-job pornography viewing” at a dozen federal agencies and national security officials have reportedly found an “unbelievable” amount of child pornography on government devices.
Trace the internal IPs and fire them, each and every single on of them
And don’t rehire any of them
If they have free time to watch porn all day, their job really wasn’t important in the first place
I guess watching porn is important in keeping track of geological eruptions! (laughing)
You learn something new every day.
a single employee or a single employee?
The weiner defense?
Maybe he was looking for rocks. Big rocks...
Probably cheaper to let our government officials watch porn than actually work?
“Trust us, your personal information is secure, subject!”
At a "reasonable" 4 sites per work day (assuming he made time to do actual work too), it would take 9 years to visit that many porn sites. We should recoup the taxpayer dollars we wasted paying him for engaging in his hobby.
I find it hard to believe he had enough hours in the day to visit 9000 adult websites!
How on earth did he manage to do his day job?

I see what you did there.
I guess the government will have to develop an approved porn site list to combat this problem. /S
And this doesn't even include the free porn benefit
That is my thought on this. It wouldn’t be very hard to find them.
Really? All you have to do is switch to Google public servers and its not illegal...
Was this stupid porn addict fired? Taxpayers are sick of paying these worthless employees, who not only steal their paychecks but actually harm national security while doing so.
He is probably some upper level manager.
Masturbating on government time... Never mind.
It better be American porn they were watching.
