"Private photographs, confidential financial documents and even military secrets have joined the list of files that computer users can download as they scour the Internet," reports Reuters.
"Some programs, like LimeWire, leave their users especially vulnerable to prying eyes.

The article mentions two Web sites, SeeWhatYouShare.com and Found Photos, where private files and photos are being posted.
