Identity Thieves Lurk in P-to-P Networks Users may be sharing more information than they bargained for, security expert says. Robert McMillan IDG News Service PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA -- Users of peer-to-peer file-sharing services may be sharing more than they bargained for, a former White House cybersecurity advisor warned last week. Security researchers have found thousands of files with sensitive information by searching through file-sharing networks, said Howard Schmidt, chief executive officer at R&H Security Consulting. Schmidt, who has also worked as chief security officer for Microsoft, made the comments during an SDForum seminar in Palo Alto, California, last week. |
