Porn-Addicted Bureaucrat Imports Russian Malware

If they don’t have anything better to do than gawp at pornography, maybe we can live without the services of a few federal bureauweenies, like the one at US Geological Survey who infected government networks with Russian malware from porn 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.

Degeneracy is weakness. Russians understand this and exploit it.

Let’s not single out the USGS:

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.

If these people were essential employees, they would likely have other uses for their time on the job. The labor market is tight. Why not free up some federal workers for more constructive employment in the private sector?
