Pretty neat. Too bad this may ruin the eBay buyer's life. From the Daily Mail:
Police are investigating the eBay auction of a digital camera said to have contained MI6 images of terror suspects.
Suspects' faces, names and fingerprints, as well as snaps of rocket launchers and missiles, were discovered by an online bidder who bought the camera for £17, it was reported.
The 28-year-old only found the images when he downloaded his own recent holiday snaps from the Nikon CoolPix.
He told police and was shocked when Special Branch officers arrived at his home in Hemel Hempstead, Herts, days later to seize the camera.
Officers are said to have made five visits to his home in the last week to quiz him and his family.
[...] Among the images which are reported to have been found on the camera is a 'top secret' document giving details of the encrypted computer system used by MI6's agents in the field.
[...] Neil Doyle, author of Terror Base UK, told the Sun the documents related to an operation against al Qaeda in Iraq, adding: 'It's jaw-dropping that they got into the public domain.
'Not only do they divulge secrets about operations, operating systems and previously unheard-of MI6 departments, but they could put lives at risk.'
