The problem is that people are not only sharing their ripped CDs and DVDs, theyÂre also sharing (accidently, IÂm guessing) sensitive files on their hard drive like tax returns, bank statements and cancelled checks.
A blogger recently decided to do a few searches on Gnutella, a major P2P network, for sensitive documents. It took him only 10 minutes to find a handful.
The blog says to just skip the P2Ps. But I bet some folks don't care. They can't give up their free pipeline to Carrie Underwood, We Are Scientists and Tiny Tim mp3 files. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
