Highly-sensitive information such as passwords and user names of
company executives has been found on used computer disk drives bought
on eBay.
Researchers at the University of Glamorgan analysed some 100
randomly-sourced PC hard disks, and discovered that more than half
contained data from organisations such as multinational companies,
universities and a primary school.
Data on the disks included:
* staff records, passwords, internal emails and financial details
* school reports, a list of pupils, and letters to parents
* a document template for university degree certificates.
