Do you think the military, any military, would require employees to remove their social media profiles? I think so otherwise it seems to be poor planning considering the UK military used to get their squaddies to DoD wipe their hard drives before bringing any computer equipment back from Germany to the UK in the 80's/90's.

I wonder if the Russia rhetoric is just a Cold War 2.0 rhetoric designed to stimulate economic activity and innovation, whilst testing relevant bodies in the UK. Its nearly ten years since the SEC was caught watching porn before the financial crisis kicked off. Familiarity breeds contempt etc etc.

Oh come on, someone recently compiled detailed information on US military bases from the publicly available fitbit data of all the soldiers running round them. you can even figure out deployment patterns from it. Most militaries, even the big ones, are desperately naive about this stuff.

I know and so we have to trust them to make the right decisions when taking a country into war. Jeeze we really are run by amateurs!

During Cold War Russia hadn't annexed parts of European countries or left the radioactive trails all across town after assassinating their 'enemy of the state'.

Military in Russia today are simply at the service of their mafia bosses, so mafia's methods is something they are used to as well.
