US soldiers have been putting sensitive information online in non-secure third party websites. It defies belief, yet we\u2019re reading that it happened. The story popped up on \u2018Gizmodo\u2019 .<\/a><\/p>\n It is alleged that US Soldiers were saving sensitive information on a couple of common flashcard sites, presumably of things they were trying to memorise and learn.\u00a0 It seems these are common learning tools used in universities to help students memorise facts.\u00a0 That works well so long as the facts aren’t top secret!\u00a0 Even worse, their settings were on \u2018public\u2019 not \u2018private\u2019!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src="https:\/\/new.kinetics.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NuclearCodes.jpg" title_text="NuclearCodes" _builder_version="4.16" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}" theme_builder_area="post_content"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.17.4" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}" theme_builder_area="post_content"]<\/p>\n It is a classic warning about the risk of people, however well intentioned, saving critical data online in places the organisation is unaware of, and can\u2019t control.
