  • Sir John Sawers is due to take over as chief of the Secret Intelligence
    Service in November, putting him in charge of all of Britain’s spying
    operations abroad.



    But entries by his wife Shelley on the social networking site have exposed
    potentially compromising details about where they live and work, their
    friends’ identities and where they spend their holidays. On the day her
    husband was appointed she congratulated him on the site using his codename
    “C”.



    Lady Sawers had put virtually no privacy protection on her account, making it
    visible to any of the site’s 200m users around the world who choose to be in
    the open-access London social network on Facebook.
