During a Wednesday evening address to the Intelligence and National Security Alliance Leadership Dinner in Alexandria, Virginia, Comey revealed he's on Instagram.
“I care deeply about privacy, treasure it. I have an Instagram account with nine followers. Nobody is getting in. They’re all immediate relatives and one daughter’s serious boyfriend,” he said.
Gizmodo’s IT expert Ashley Feinberg said, “Iit only took me about four hours of sleuthing to find Comey’s account, which is not protected.”
Feinberg also said that in addition to his secret Instagram account, Comey could also have a Twitter account, both named after American Protestant theologian Reinhold Niebuhr.
Just like he said, James Comey’s Instagram account has nine followers. His Twitter account has only one follower though.
The latest microblog entry dates back to 2014.
