Iain Thomson writes on vnunet.com:
A Japanese policeman has been fired after inadvertently leaking thousands of police records over the internet.More here.
The officer, who worked for Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department, installed a copy of the Winny file sharing application on his work computer.
By not limiting the sharing of files he allowed 6,600 police documents onto the P2P network, including interrogation reports and classified locations of automatic license plate readers.
The authorities have been trying to enforce a ban following a number of similar embarrassing incidents in the past.
