A New Zealand man Chris Ogle (29) has experienced the real-time meaning of the old saying "Burn after reading". Broadcaster TVNZ reported that, Chris Ogle found 60 US military files in an MP3 player that he bought in a secondhand shop in Oklahoma, USA. These sensitive military files dating from 2005 were clearly marked as 'secret' and contained the phone numbers of numerous soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Chris came across this data when he connected the $18 (£12) device to his computer - hardly the rock tunes, snapshots and video one might expect to. Although the information is some four years old, some of the details were still relevant as the television station found after attempting to contact some of the uncovered phone numbers. As for Ogle, he told TV One News that he would hand the files to US officials if asked.The more I look at it, the more I see and the less I think I should be looking, Ogle said.
How such a major security breach could occur has not been explained by the U.S. Department of Defense, although similar instances have been reported in the past. Neither the U.S. embassy in New Zealand nor the U.S. Army has ventured any comment on the breach.

The thing here is the data security breach. Technology really becomes too complicated if your not aware on how to used it or keep it.
