Man's tax return available on Internet

A MAN USING file sharing programs found that his tax return was available on the Internet.

According to the WTOC TV site, Don Bodiker used a file sharing system to swap stuff over the net. But he also uses software to compute his taxes. And unfortunately for him he saved his tax return in the save place as his other file shares.

But he was rudely awakened to the reality when he had a phone call from someone who had noticed that his return was up for grabs on the World Wide Web.

According to the TV station, the caller told Mr Bodiker certain details that convinced him that his tax return was, indeed, up there on the wibbly web.

The chap who phoned him also alerted a heap of other people who had done the same darn thing, with the particular file sharing software throwing up hundreds of results. This web, it's a tangled one, no?
