   Hmm.... Hasn't [1]this happened before?

     The National Police Agency revealed on 13 June that 10,000 files
     that included police information appear to have been leaked from an
     employee's private PC over the Internet via the filesharing
     software Wini. It is possible that depositions and affidavits
     regarding police cases were included; the content and nature of the
     leaked data are being thoroughly investigated.
     According to the current investigation, the employee (26) was a
     chief patrol officer in a regional division of the Kitazawa office.
     A PC he was using at home became infected with a virus, and
     approximately 9000 document files and 1000 photographic files that
     had been saved on it appear to have been leaked through Wini. The
     chief patrol officer explained of the leaked data, "I received it
     from the head of the patrol department of the regional division."

   If you're thinking, Uh, gee, hasn't something like that happened
   before? the answer is, [2]Why, yes, it has.
