Loose lips sink ships
The Federal Times @fedline filled in additional details of the original story that appeared last weekend in Wired Magazine:
Wired’s Danger Room has the story of @PrimorisEra … whose mysterious, sexy photos and national security know-how may have enticed military and intelligence officials to disclose information during flirty social media conversations. @PrimorisEra claimed to be a Defense Department employee or contractor when talking to some men. To others, she claimed to work for the CIA… Some found her habit of pushing for information on their contacts and deployments “creepy.”
Last Friday, a fed-up female Defense contractor accused @PrimorisEra (on Twitter, no less) of being a social networking *honey pot. Almost immediately, @PrimorisEra shut down most of her social media accounts and disappeared… The Pentagon opened an investigation to see if anyone broke security rules when talking to her.

*Note: That is not the information security standard definition of “honeypot” that I am familiar with!
