US Defence Department and Facebook Social Networking
Washington – The US Defence Department said recently it is reviewing the use of Facebook and other social media amid concern the sites pose a cybersecurity risk for sensitive military networks.
The announcement comes after the Pentagon had overcome initial reluctance and begun to embrace Facebook, Twitter and other social media.
Previously, the Pentagon worried the social networking sites could take up precious bandwidth or that careless entries could expose military secrets.
The concern driving the latest review was the free-wheeling nature of so-called Web 2.0 sites, which are more vulnerable to hackers and cyberassault.
