P2P Leaks Surprises

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the be-careful-people dept.

kilian.cavalotti writes "A new Web log is posting what it purports are pictures, documents and letters from U.S. soldiers and military bases in Iraq and elsewhere--all of which the site's operator claims to have downloaded from peer-to-peer networks such as Gnutella. The "See What You Share" site has been online for a week and has published photos ranging from a crashed military jet to a screenshot of a spreadsheet file that appears to include names, addresses and telephone numbers of marines. The site's operator, a 30-year-old named Rick Wallace, wrote in a blog posting that he is trying to help the military understand how serious a security risk unmonitored peer-to-peer file sharing can be."

    Off Topic? You morons, it's obvious he was talking about the redhaired, green garbed, chick half-naked.
