July 29, 2009: At Congressional hearing by the House Committee on Overshght and Government Reform, the Chairman made a strong statement about banning P2P software from government and contractor computers (link to statement below). Testimony again reported that critical U.S. information had been leaked through a LimeWire P2P file-sharing network installed without aurhorization on personal computers in government facilities. It was reported that secret information such as a list of all government nuclear facilities, the emergency escape route and safe house location of the First Lady had leaked and are widely available on foreign web site. This is now reported as inaccurate, see link below to Washington Post story.
