MI6 Digital Camera Sold on eBay for £17, Contained Classified Files

Posted October 1st, 2008 by Alex Ion

I am going to doubt the fact that the are so stupid that they don’t erase highly classified images on a if they plan to sell it on eBay, but I’ll go with the wave and say the news is real.

Apparently a funny James Bond agent from the sold a secondhand Nikon Coolpix on eBay for just £17 (some $30) and simply forgot to erase those classified rocket launchers pictures and hand-drawn graphics of terrorist links, most of them related to Abdul al-Hadi al-Iraqi, a high-ranking al-Qaeda officer.

The new 28-year old owner from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire found them all along with his own, after a vacation in the US.

That’s either an unimaginable mistake for the agency or this guy is a great Photoshop wiz and managed to do a great job with those files. Local police is investigating the whole thing.
