No frills, no add-ons, no snidery, no heavy-handed irony, I give you just the facts, the plain unvarnished truth:
The head of Interpol has warned that cybercrime is the 'most dangerous criminal threat we will ever face' after fraudsters stole his identity on Facebook. [My emphasis]
Security chief Ronald K. Noble revealed that two fake accounts were created in his name and used to find the details of highly-dangerous criminals.
The embarrassing security breach saw one of the impersonators used the false profile to obtain information on fugitives convicted of serious crimes including rape and murder.
(Oh God, I can't stand it ... what a side-splitter ... I'm hurting ... it's all too much ... must give up this blogging lark ... the 'Memsahib's shouting up the stairs asking what the noise is ... I mean, the Head of Interpol ... "evenin' all, anyone seen my identity?" ... oh God, I'm off again ...)

The "K" presumably stands for "Kloozoh"? Though "Nocluezoh" might be his nickname.

When you realise that Jackie Selebi, a former Police chief and of course now a resident of a Pretoria jail cell was once the President of Interpol, you get some idea of the calibre of the senior levels of that once-august body!
