The U.S.Attorney's Office in Massachusetts directed employees earlier thismonth not to log onto the Drudge Report website with government-issuedcomputers due to potential viruses on the site.
In an e-mailmessage sent May 4, Paul Harvey, an information-technology official forthe Boston office, wrote that security specialists with the U.S.Attorney's Office at the Department of Justice asked them “toreformat/reimage two computers because the user visited thedrudgereport.com site.”
“Please avoid the Drudgereport website from the [United States Attorney's Office] computers,” Harvey wrote.
Harveysaid that if employees had a “work-related reason to visit the site,”access could be provided off the government network.
Asked whythe conservative-leaning news aggregator and President Barack Obamacritic was flagged by Internet security officials, Tracy Schmaler, aDepartment of Justice spokeswoman, said it was because “a maliciouscode was found contained in a Web ad on Drudge.”
Schmaler alsosaid the request to stay off Drudge wasn't politically motivated andsaid it was sent only to the office in Massachusetts. She also saidother popular sites were later found to have potential viruses,including ESPN.com.
