Millions of documents, both government and private, containing sensitive and
sometimes classified information are floating about freely on file sharing
networks after being inadvertently exposed by individuals downloading P2P
software on systems that held the data, members of a U.S. House committee were
told Tuesday.
Among the documents exposed: The Pentagon's entire secret backbone network
infrastructure diagram, complete with IP addresses and password change scripts;
contractor data on radio frequency manipulation to beat Improvised Explosive
Devices (IED) in Iraq; physical terrorism threat assessments for three major U.S
cities; information on five separate Department of Defense information security
system audits.
