Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems provide Internet users with the ability to share files on their computers with up to millions of other people. In doing so, the software makes it possible for people to accidentally share personal files or sensitive data. P2P programs have been found to allow easier access to government computer systems for theft of sensitive documents and use of government resources, due to unauthorized installation and use of this software on government systems. Recent news media reports stated P2P allowed sensitive government documents to get into the public domain.
