US Secret Service probed after sensitive files left on Metro train

JB

A contractor working for the US Secret Service walked onto a Washington, DC Metro train carrying two tapes full of extremely sensitive data. He got off at his stop carrying neither.

A few years later, the US Secret Service is under investigation for what's being described as the "immense breach".

The tapes contained personal information about all agency employees, contacts and overseas informants, according to Fox News, which interviewed multiple law enforcement and congressional sources for the story.
