It seems a congressional staffer took home an Ethics Committee report that named names and deeds. That's not so bad but they then put it on their home system and their peer-to-peer software shared it with the world. The Washington dirt is interesting but the second page has just a little coverage of how the leak occurred toward the bottom of the page:
The Washington Post article
One of the selling points Vericept used when I worked there was that they monitored all network traffic; not just common ports. We saw quite a bit of really interesting stuff that no one dreamed had been shared. In this case, there's not much anyone could have done to stop this leak other than restricting access to the report and requiring that it not be taken home.
Cheers,
Dave

I saw that as well. It is interesting how 'little' was made of the leak in the news. MMMM... the politics of politics
