Pornography and National Security
You just can't make this stuff up...
I was waiting for the punchline to say something like "Japanese seamen issue erupts!!!"Top-secret data on an advanced US military system was leaked because Japanese officers were swapping porn files at work, a newspaper said Thursday.
Japan is questioning a naval officer on charges he obtained confidential data on the US-developed Aegis combat system, the defence ministry said Wednesday.
But the Yomiuri Shimbun said the data was leaked when the petty officer second class had copied pornographic images -- accompanied by the sensitive files -- from a colleague's computer and circulated them to a third officer.
One would imagine that military computer software would have some of the toughest standards, much like the financial services industry. Working for a real estate company, I couldn't even access the Yahoo! NCAA Pool Picks website. So how is porn getting passed around military computers?
