Church Minister Resigns After Porn Brings Down Church Network

Computer viruses are now so common that they rarely get a mention in the press, however The Local (http://www.thelocal.se/), a Swedish on-line news site (in English) reports today that a Church of Sweden minister has resigned after his Internet surfing habits resulted in a virus which bought down the entire church network. The minister's habit of viewing pornographic websites whilst at work might not have been discovered but for the lethal computer virus.

Archbishop Anders Wejryd is reported to have said that "Priests are people too, but I have no understanding at all for someone sitting and surfing for porn on the parish computers." Perhaps this serves as another timely reminder that ALL employers should consider implementing an Internet Usage Policy.
