Federal Data On File Sharing Network

Filed under: safety/regulatory news — lawtech2oo8 @ 7:19 am

According to reports the sensitive information about nuclear installations was accidently published on the Government Printing Office website recently. This is just the latest security problem with sensitive documents ending up on the Internet with some ending up on peer-to peer sites.
A document that was dated July 2009 that listed the location of all nuclear missile silos in the United states, along with surveillance photos belonging to the FBI of a mafia hit man were leaked to the Internet while the hit man was on trial. There were also documents that included a list of witnesses in the witness protection program that made their way to the Internet and a document of the chairs of the U.S. Secret Service for the location and layout of an emergency safe house for the First Lady.
These problems were discussed at a House Government Oversight & Government Reform Committee hearing of sharing office files via peer-to-peer. Speaking of the office, if you need some good office chairs then I suggest you buy the ergonomic office chairs because they are much better. I remember the office of this cosmetic surgeon who specialized in breast enlargement implants and reconstruction. For her part, she had a great set of chairs like that. Then again, I guess the business of breast enlargement, augmentation and also breast enhancement is really a major one indeed. The chief executive of Tiversa Inc. Rober Boback stated that while their company searches the music and file sharing networks for sensitive data they have also found that the Social Security number and family information for every master sergeant in the U.S. Army was found and medical records of at least 24,000 patients in a Texas hospital.
