    U.S. Attorney's office tells employees not to log on to Drudge Report

    By JONATHAN MARTIN | 5/15/09 3:36 PM EDT Updated: 5/15/09 11:49 PM EDT

    The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts directed employees earlier this month not to log onto the Drudge Report website with government-issued computers due to potential viruses on the site.

    In an e-mail message sent May 4, Paul Harvey, an information-technology official for the Boston office, wrote that security specialists with the U.S. Attorney’s Office at the Department of Justice asked them “to reformat/reimage two computers because the user visited the drudgereport.com site.”
