Have you heard about the federal employee who browsed 9,000 adult sites in under 7 months? Between 2016 and 2017, this person used their work computer to access thousands of sites with explicit content<\/a>. Many of these sites were linked to Russian pages that had malware.<\/p>\n

On average, this meant visiting about 79 adult sites on each business day. This employee also stored a lot of explicit content on an unauthorized USB drive and their personal Android phone, both of which were connected to the work computer against the rules. The phone ended up getting infected with malware, according to the investigation.<\/p>\n
