Chris Ogle from Whangerei in New Zealand got more than he bargained for when he bought an MP3 player from an Oklahoma thrift shop for $18. Among the music playlists on the device was a list containing 60 files in total, including the names and personal details of American soldiers.
Some files contained telephone numbers for soldiers who were posted to Afghanistan and Iraq. Some were even marked with a warning saying the release of its contents is “prohibited by federal law”. There are also details of equipment deployed to the bases and private information about soldiers, such as social security numbers and even which ones are pregnant.
