A federal employee infected a U.S. government network with malware after viewing more than 9,000 pornographic Web pages at work, according to an inspector generals report.

The report, published Oct. 17, shows that the employees actions were discovered during a security audit of the computer network at the U.S. Geological Survey. The employee had an extensive history of visiting adult pornography websites on a work computer, many of which were Russian and contained malware that spread to the USGS network.

The USGS is a government agency that performs analysis of the countrys landscape and seeks to recognize hazards that may threaten natural resources.

The employee, who was not named in the report, saved many of the pornographic images onto an unauthorized USB device and a personal cellphone which was also found to contain malware. The Android phone was connected to the employees government-issued computer, according to the report.

Now, the Office of Inspector General is recommending that the USGS enforce a strong blacklist policy of rogue Web domains and more closely monitor its employees' Internet usage.

An ongoing effort to detect and block known pornographic websites, and websites with suspicious origins, will likely enhance preventive countermeasures, the report reads. The inspector general also suggested that the USGS enact a security policy that would restrict usage of unauthorized USB devices and personally owned mobile devices.

The USGS is part of the U.S. Interior Department, which specifically prohibits employees from using government systems to view pornography, according to the report. Employees are also asked to refrain from connecting personal devices, such as USB drives and cellphones, to Government-issued computers or networks.

The employee had previously signed a statement indicating understanding of these rules, according to the report. Nancy DiPaolo, external affairs director at Interiors inspector generals office, told Nextgov that the employee no longer works for the USGS.

so that's how the russians are infiltrating america.

i was thinking the opposite. vanilla porn is easy to find on tube sites that are low risk. he was probably into something extreme which took him to niche sites that harbored viruses.

Government networks are heavily regulated. The fact that this computer was on the network allowing him to view those kinds of sites it's pretty shady.

Back in 2013 when I was managing some networks overseas the Intel guy got a trojan on the classified network. They hit my team relatively hard but the trojan was downloaded from an official government classified website. The report said he downloaded a "known Russian trojan". I asked for a report about why the trojan was known and no one was doing anything about it and they ended up dropping it.

Had another guy get a virus on our computer by trying to download pictures from Selena Gomez's 18 birthday party.

Yeah, I'm shocked he could even plug his phone into his computer. That's a good way to get your computer locked and your phone taken away for investigation around here.

They're regulated through policy. They can't be assed to pay for actual security engineers to enforce this stuff technically.

Im actually surprised they had government computers allowing USB drives and phones to be connected.

I know of small private companies that dont allow that.

I know its not the most sensitive department but thats still a major oversight.

Imagine if in an AU this actually was the intention of Russian spies and they did manage to take down the US this way. Imagine what the history books would say about that. "How we conquered the capitalist pigs with porn"

Imagine if this is just the cover for a mole?

What a genius tactic.

"you just have to log onto this porn site and then the virus will do the rest. You just look like some horny perv and no one will suspect you."
