Bloomberg: White House Weighs Personal Mobile Phone Ban for Staff

* Official says move driven by concerns for network security
* Trump has repeatedly complained about unauthorized news leaks

The White House may ban its employees from using personal mobile phones while at work, raising concerns among some staffers including that they’ll be cut off from family and friends, according to seven administration officials.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly complained about press leaks since taking office, but one official said the potential change isn’t connected to concerns about unauthorized disclosures to news organizations.

The proposed ban is instead driven by cybersecurity concerns, the officials said. One official said that there are too many devices connected to the campus wireless network and that personal phones aren’t as secure as those issued by the federal government. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly -- whose personal phone was found to be compromised by hackers earlier this year -- is leading the push for a ban, another official said.

WNU Editor: If you work for the government and you have a cell phone .... you will have to assume that all of texts will be made public one day. And as for those who believe that this is a measure being implemented to stop leak leaks to the press .... please .... leaks to the press were happening long before the invention of the cell phone, and will continue if these phones are banned.
