Incident: Expulsion, Sudan

Jan Pronk, UN envoy to Sudan, is being expelled because of comments he posted in his blog that were critical of the Sudanese military. The lesson learned here is be careful what your organization or its staff says on the Internet (either officially or unofficially). Someone in a position of influence may be reading and take offense.

On more of a security-related note, always review organization Web sites and blogs during an assessment to see if there is any information that could possibly compromise security. Depending on the circumstances you may also want to do a little Googling of key staff members, checking if any sensitive information can easily be found online.
