WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - A man from New Zealand reportedlyfound something he didn't expect loaded on an MP3 player he bought
from a thrift shop in Oklahoma.
TV One News in New Zealand says the device had 60 U.S. military
files, including names, Social Security numbers and telephone
numbers for American soldiers. According to the report, some of the
soldiers spent time in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mission briefings and
equipment details were also on the player.
A security expert in New Zealand says the material shouldn't be
in the public domain -- but national security probably isn't
compromised. U.S. officials haven't commented.
In Afghanistan in 2006, U.S. investigators reportedly bought
back stolen flash drives that contained sensitive military data
from shops outside a main U.S. base in the Afghan city of Bagram.
