E-mail snafu exposes names of confidential witnesses in federal probe
ComputerWorld
An official at U.S Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's office in Chicago inadvertently e-mailed a document containing the names of 24 confidential witnesses in a federal probe to the media. Once the error was discovered, Fitzgerald spokesman Randall Sanborn quickly sent out another e-mail asking all of the media members who received the original document to quickly destroy it.
