Security Alert Caused By MP3 Player
A man from New Zealand discovers US army information on second hand MP3 player, according to reports from New Zealand TV
The person at the center of this story Chris Ogle claims he discovered the US army information files when he went to download music from the internet to his MP3 player one afternoon.
The New Zealander says found the secret data regarding US military personnel on an Personal media player he bought from a second hand shop in Oklahoma, USA.
Chris Ogle, 29, said: “The more I look at it, the more I see and the less I think I should be looking.”
These secret data files include the telephone numbers and names of US armed forces personal, according to news reports by a New Zealand TV channel.
Still, the Pentagon can relax a bit, as according to a leading expert, these confidential records in question, are unlikely to present a security risk, as they are dated from 2005, consequently are already 5 years out of date.
Still there will be some embarrassment in the US Army, as some files found included the warning that the release of this information is “prohibited by federal law”.
Along with the individual details of the US soldiers, including a record of their social security numbers, the data files also detailed pregnant female soldiers, who will by now be female troop mothers, and apparent briefings of missions in Afghanistan.
A spokes person from the Center for Strategic Studies in New Zealand, said of course that while these records should not be circulating in the public domain. He thought it did not appear that it would have a negative affect on national security in the USA.
“This is just slack administrative procedures which are indeed a cause of embarrassment,” he said.
Mr Ogle, from Whangarei mean time , said he would give the digital files to the US government if requested.
At the moment there’s still no statement from the US Embassy in Wellington.
This is not the first time that such laps in security surrounding top secret US forces information stored digitally.
There was a similar story in 2006 when a breach happened in Afghanistan. It was reported that US investigators found stolen flash USB memory sticks containing classified US military records from local shops in Bagram right by a main US base.
