Being a British ambassador and the newly appointed head of Britain's international spy agency definitely does not entitle you to a normal life. John Sawers' wife made family vacations and their place of residence open to the public when she decided to blast information on the public networking site, Facebook. It is understood Sawers daughter recently joined the site, but given her father's status wouldn't dream to place private information on the site. What was his wife thinking?
Sawers was appointed only 10 days ago to become the head of the Secret Intelliegence service, also known as the M16. The article critically states how detrimental this could be to his personal security. While all signs point to Sawers doing a great job while in this position one must wonder if this information placed on Facebook could be harmful to his well being. When he is head of the M16 he will be in charge of a new British cybersecurity organization. The new organization will be in "charged with making sure that all the intelligence services are not vulnerable to hacking, identity theft, or phishing." When a person is in charge of so much information and new technology their identity should be as concealed as possible for him and his family's safety.
