»Find secret documents with p2p! Threat for military.«

Sensitive military secrets may be available through the same file-sharing software used by millions to swap illegal music and movie files.

Rick Wallace ... said he has used the popular file-swapping program LimeWire to download military duty rosters, discussions of tactics, and other secret files. He said the problem is probably caused by military personnel who use LimeWire to download music files, unaware that they are also exposing secret information stored on their computers. A terrorist or enemy combatant with Net access could obtain valuable information about US military operations merely by downloading it, he said.

Wallace said that since first finding the sensitive material in May, he has repeatedly contacted officials at the Pentagon, the FBI, and the CIA, but secret materials remain available over the LimeWire network.
