It is clear that someone who was entrusted with sensitive information and access has gossiped about it. This is absolutely unacceptable; we hold a position of great trust in the Protectorate, and that one of us has betrayed this trust is something I personally take extremely seriously.
We are undertaking a review of all logs to find the culprit. This will take some time, however, so I would like to invite the guilty party (or parties) to come to me privately to admit your wrongdoing. (Alternately, if you are aware of such gossip and know who has been spreading it, you may also come to me privately. If you have only a suspicion rather than strong evidence, this will be useful when we review the logs, as we will know where to start.) We will begin the audit of the logs in one hour.
If you wait for us to uncover your malfeasance in the audit, things will go very badly for you indeed. If you admit your unprofessional behaviour immediately, we will show far greater leniency.

Date: 2010-09-09 08:01 pm (UTC)I seem to have the culprit in hand; one Mr Theodolphus Higgs. He swears he didn't take the story to the gossip rag, only mentioned it to a friend; I think he's probably telling the truth as far as that goes, though we might want to check with the editor. She shan't like to name her source, but perhaps she'll confirm or deny it was Higgs? I hate to bring heavy pressures to bear on the tabloids, they're extremely good at scaring up certain sorts of useful information.
Amusingly, we caught one other fish we hadn't even been setting the line for. I'll wait till the end of the hour before I make an example of Higgs -- who knows what else might turn up?
