Blog #15

For my blog, I read an article on CNN called "thrift store MP3 contains secret military files". Chris Ogle, from New Zealand, bought a used MP3 player for nine dollars from a thrift store over a year ago and when he plugged it into his computer to put songs on it, discovered that there were confidential files. Some of these files include the home addresses, social security numbers, and cell phone numbers of U.S. soldiers and other information about the U.S. military back from 2005. It is scary that the government is not keeping these files safer, because things like this could happen so easily. It is lucky that this did not go into the hands of someone else who could use this information in a bad way. I would be very upset if i was one of these soldiers knowing that your personal information could be on this, or that something like this could happen.
