MI6 rushed into an investigation last night after it was reported that valuable and secret information was leaked on the popular social media network, Facebook.

Within the London network there are roughly 3 million users however this does not count for anyone outside of that network who also may of been looking. The sensitive information that was posted contained pictures and information of where they work and live.

Sir John Sawyers is set to take over all foreign affairs for MI6 which means he will be responsible for all secret operations abroad. His wife’s blunder is deeply embarrassing for MI6 who were last night facing questions as to why the family had not been more closely monitored and screened to see if they could cope with such a situation within the family. That is not to say that the family was placed under computer surveillance or vehicle tracking but it just means that they understand the basic of what they can and can’t do. Computer Surveillance aside it is important to understand the threat with such powerful social media website and it is important to recognise their capability to reach so many people so fast. This what was obviously so worrying.

Thank god the information was only available to the Facebook network for a short space of time but there is no telling who may of seen that sensitive data.

So, how do you get around this little problem? Well in order for only your close friends to see your profile content you need to edit the privacy settings from within your own account otherwise anyone can see the vital information that you are displaying on your profile.
Question is, do we really want someone who is going to make these kind of blunders in charge of our foreign affairs?
