    cbcnews.ca--- B.C. students buy sensitive U.S. defense data for $40. in Africa.--- From the page: "A hard drive containing information about multimillion-dollar U.S. defence contracts was obtained in Ghana by a group of Vancouver journalism students as they probed what happens to developed nations' discarded and donated electronics. "It's pretty shocking," said Blake Sifton, one of three UBC graduate journalism students who purchased the device containing information related to contracts between the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security and military contractor Northrop Grumman. The hard drive cost the students just $40. "You'd think a security contractor that constantly deals with very secret proprietary information would probably want to wipe their drives," Sifton said Tuesday."

    In all honesty I'm not shocked at all. In fact I would fully expect this to happen. I think there needs to be strict government oversight on the disposal of electronic equipment whether it's government property or corporate. While this kind of negligence is not necessarily dangerous (at the moment), it is humiliating to have someone from another country point out sloppy oversight and poor management of sensitive materials. On a different note it is concerning to me that the American Government, or any first world government, allows toxic material to be dumped into other countries without the facilities to contain hazardous material. That is yet another shameful scar on our nation's government. Hopefully, with a new administration in office, there will be a few people competent enough to address some of these kind of situations left unattended for so many years.
