On my last deployment, there was 30 GB of pornography on the SIPR network, iPods hooked up to secret computers (I guess it was just to charge it; you can't download stuff from iTunes - but still a blatant OPSEC violation), and I stumbled upon a site on the SIPR that had information that had no business being accessible to just anyone with a Secret clearance (not sure if it was S or TS, but I do know that it was, in layman's terms, "need to know" information). After a few months of continually raising these issues, the latter one was solved. I guess batting .333 ain't bad?
Geez. We took Ft. Drum off the network during a Unified Endeavor exercise due to the presence of reams of porn on their SIPR that just so happened to carry lots of malware (imagine that!).
