Jano Gibson writes in The Sydney Morning Herald:
A NSW Police blunder has led to a database of email passwords - including those of the anti-terrorism commander and hundreds of journalists - published on the internet.(Thanks, Kane!) More here.
The names, email addresses and passwords of as many as 800 people who signed up to receive NSW Police media releases are listed on the database.
Among the exposed passwords is that of Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Jenkins, the man responsible for the state's Counter Terrorist Co-ordination Command unit.
This morning, smh.com.au alerted Mr Jenkins to the fact that his password had been compromised.
He said he had no idea it was available on the internet.
