Northrop Grumman Data Found in Ghana

Posted by Kara Reeder Jun 25, 2009 10:46:23 AM

A team of journalists doing an investigation for the Public Broadcasting Service show Frontline uncovered a hard drive in a Ghana market that contained sensitive documents belonging to U.S. government contractor Northrop Grumman, reports Computerworld. The hard drive was purchased for $40.

 

Apparently, the drive had belonged to a Fairfax, Va. employee who still works for the company and contained hundreds of unencrypted documents about government contracts. Northrop Grumman believes that the hard drive was stolen after one of its asset-disposal vendors took possession of the unit and calls the incident "disconcerting."
