Let me guess without reading the article: The data was stored on an unecrypted drive connected to a computer in a network running with Windows, Active Directory, and Outlook/Exchange?

With that combo, you can just post your "secret" data on the web site, it won't make much of a difference.

According to 8NewsNow, about a dozen women have since filed a lawsuit against the firm, claiming they did not do enough to protect their private and personal information. None of the documents posted online were encrypted
