Employees are conducting official business on their work devices “using mobile applications in violation of Federal and DoD electronic messaging and records retention policies”, the inspector general’s management advisory said. The activities ranged from online dating to games, cryptocurrency reviews and scouting for luxury yachts, according to the “management advisory” released on Thursday.
The unauthorised applications “included photo and video editing, telehealth, weather, maps, and fitness applications”, the inspector general said. “In addition, some of the unauthorised unmanaged applications that users downloaded to DoD devices had known cybersecurity risks, operational security risks, potentially inappropriate content, or represent unacceptable use of DoD mobile devices.”
“Today’s report raises more questions than it answers,” Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, said in a statement on Thursday. “Was the disappearance of critical information related to the [6 January 2021] insurrection a result of bad faith, stunning incompetence, or outdated records management policies? We still do not know. But this report illustrates the key vulnerabilities and failures that the Defence Department needs to immediately address.”The management advisory didn’t mention any apps by name.
