Wife blows MI6 chief’s cover on Facebook

Kids, be careful about what you put up on your facebook pages. It could come back to haunt you when you apply for a job some day.

And grown-ups… heed the same warning!

Wife blows MI6 chief’s cover on Facebook

The wife of the new head of MI6 has caused a major security breach and left his family exposed after publishing photographs and personal details on Facebook.

Sir John Sawers is due to take over as chief of the Secret Intelligence Service in November, putting him in charge of all of Britain’s spying operations abroad.

But entries by his wife Shelley on the social networking site have exposed potentially compromising details about where they live and work, their friends’ identities and where they spend their holidays. On the day her husband was appointed she congratulated him on the site using his codename “C”.

Unbelievable.

Perhaps Sir Sawers is not fit to be MI6 chief if he hasn’t fully explained to his wife what not to write about?

I wonder if the YouTube video is up from when he went home and confronted her about what she posted on her Facebook page. That I would like to see. ;-) Or did he just IM her from his top secret office to tell her to take that top secret information down, using an unsecure AOL IM connection.
