Facebook as a threat to life

Sir John Sawers, the new head (as of November 2009) of British Secret Intelligence Service (better known as MI6), is currently experiencing first hand the possible negative consequences of social networking. His wife posted personal pictures and address information on Facebook without protecting her profile. An investigation is ongoing to verify if Sawers can still assume his new function, as there is fear for the security of his family and friends after this information was leaked.
