So, we’ve seen many hospitals, financial institutions, and some defense contractors lose, misplace, or leak data via losing laptops, taking flash drives home, losing CDs, etc. etc. This is a new one. Defense data on the Aegis radar system was not quite leaked but could have been … because of swapping porn between computers in Japan.

The officer told police he accidentally copied the confidential data onto his computer’s hard disk when copying porn from a computer belonging to a crew member from another destroyer, the Yomiuri newspaper reported.

A third officer was also found to have copied data on the Aegis system alongside pornographic images, the Yomiuri said. Source: MSNBC

We Say: Note that although the leak was in Japan, in case you didn’t know, the Aegis is our system … so those are our dang secrets being swapped with porn!
