The MOD has just launched a new personal online security awareness campaign.
The campaign aims to encourage Service Personnel and MOD civilians to carefully consider possible repercussions before posting information on social networking sites.
There is also new MOD guidance - Think Before You . . . - for personnel using social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, which advises them not to put themselves or others at increased risk by releasing too much information about themselves or other operational details.
Risks to Service personnel - and potentially their families - include posting details and locations of troop movements, operational events, locations and travel details of ships or aircraft, as well as people's home addresses. If inadvertently released, information such as this could give the UK's enemies the upper hand.
The guidance and products to download (web banners, posters, etc) would be useful for anyone in the Armed Forces Community.
Online videos have been released as part of the campaign and we'll be posting links to them shortly.
