Data on U.S. Military's Iraqi Operations Leaked onto Internet

Via Breitbart News.

Internal data such as information concerning U.S. military operations in Iraq have recently been leaked to the Internet from a privately owned personal computer of an Air Self-Defense Force member loaded with a file sharing software, ASDF investigations have shown.

The information on transport operations and personnel deployment of the U.S. military in Iraq in June and July was given as confidential data from the U.S. military and its leak could have posed a serious threat to the safety of foreign troops operating in Iraq. The ASDF said, "The situation has changed from the time then and it will therefore have no impact."

An analysis of the hard disk drive that included the information indicated the data were leaked on Friday, the investigations showed.
