P2P: If you are going to share be smart

I just came across an article on Foxnews.com. An employee for a defense contractor installed a P2P program on their computer that by default shared all of the contents of their computer on the internet. Many programs (such as Kazaa and Limewire) do this. People do not realize that by doing this they are sharing everything on their computer. In this case the blue prints for Marine 1 were found on a computer in Iran. Most likely some one on Iran typed in some very sensative words that came up with files on this eployees computer.  If you have any of these dreadful programs on your computer go to search and type in tax, taxes, bank, sensative and some other wonderful key words. You will be surprised at what people out there share. Again if you are running any P2P programs that share your contents with the web be very careful on what you let the system share.

Would you want the world seeing all your private data ?
