A 26-year-old officer at the Metropolitan Police Department's Kitazawa Police Station in Setagaya Ward accidently leaked internal documents, including information on investigations, onto the Internet via the Winny file-sharing software, MPD officials said Wednesday.

About 9,000 documents, including reports on interrogations, and 1,000 photo images are believed to have been leaked from a personal computer belonging to the senior patrol officer, the officials said.

The officer in question did not respond to a survey the police department conducted in March to check if any of its employees had installed Winny in their private PCs following a spate of data leaks via the software.

It's always a good thing to make dedicated share folders for winny and not to share some general folder lol

On limewire I've seen people's email files, and if you search for the word password you often find txt files that presumably contain peoples passwords.

Winny and Limewire tranfer trojan or viruses very often. Not using them is a smart move.

Wah!~ Technology can help in so many ways yet damage in so many ways. Hopefully the files have mysteriously disappeared

Winny's still around?
