NAID : News : Computer Discarded in Dumpster Contains Personal Data

An article by Tom Kenny of WTVQ in Lexington, KY on February 19th tells how a discarded computer yielded some pretty interesting information about the previous owner. Not only did it contain e-mail messages, a name, age and birth date of an individual, presumably the owner, but also personal letters, including an individual's name and address, and what the users looked at on the Internet, which included everything from instant messaging to pornography.
