OTTAWA A naughty federal employee who surfed fetish oriented pornographic websites at his Industry Canada work station may still be working for the federal government.
QMI Agency has obtained a copy of a security report that says a Montreal-based employee used his work computer to access porn between November 2009 and January 2010.
Typically, the employee would surf pornographic sites that involved bondage or dominatrix-related themes.
Among the numerous sites visited was one that featured Brazilian transsexuals. When security officials seized the laptop computer the civil servant was using, they made another worrying discovery.
A forensic analysis found the computer contained at least two Trojans horses viruses that can install destructive programs, like ones that track a users movements or even give a hacker remote access to a computer.
Those surfing pornographic sites often unwittingly download Trojan horses onto their computers.
Records gained through Access to Information requests did not indicate if the employee had been disciplined.
