Danger Room - Wired Blogs

Danger Room - Wired Blogs:

"For years, members of the military brass have been warning that soldiers'
blogs could pose a security threat by leaking sensitive wartime information. But
a series of online audits, conducted by the Army, suggests that official Defense
Department websites post far more potentially-harmful than blogs do. The audits,
performed by the Army Web Risk Assessment Cell between January 2006 and January
2007, found at least 1,813 violations of operational security policy on 878
official military websites. In contrast, the 10-man, Manassas, Virginia, unit
discovered 28 breaches, at most, on 594 individual blogs during the same
period."


Sounds like the troops are better at protecting their own security while blogging than Defense Department officials running websites for the government.
