NBC reports on an important security problem with p2p. People don't often realize this, but p2p networks can make your private documents available online - e.g., your tax returns, social security number, bank account information and more. NBC's investigation found "over 25,000 student loan applications and more than 600,000 credit reports easily accessible by anyone on these networks."
One family's tax return was accessed and their $2,000 tax refund - money they needed for their college fund - was stolen. We're glad that NBC helped the family get their refund back. Unfortunately, there is no word on compensation for the artists whose songs were being stolen. Their children also have college funds that suffer when their content is stolen.
