Two wrongs definitely didn't make right in this government worker's case. From the OIG Report:
We found that - redacted - knowingly used U.S. Government computer systems to access unauthorized internet web pages. We also found that those unauthorized pages hosted malware. The malware was downloaded to - redacted - Government laptop,which then exploited the USGS ' network. Our digital forensic examination revealed that - redacted - had an extensive history of visiting adult pornography websites. Many of the 9,000 web pages - redacted - visited routed through websites that originated in Russia and contained malware. Our analysis confirmed that many of the pornographic images were subsequently saved to an unauthorized USB device and personal Android cell phone connected to - redacted - Government issued computer. We found that - redacted - personal cell phone was also infected with malware.
This came to us by way of Sophos' NakedSecurity at Gov worker visits 9k porn sites without protection, spreads infection. Among the protections recommended by Sophos is their own web filter.
