It's a shocking and demeaning news for the people associated with U. S. pentagon that a New Zealand man found an MP3 player, which he bought from thrift store in Oklahoma for $9, loaded with 60 U. S. military files, including the names and contact numbers of American soldiers.

Chris Ogle of New Zealand reported that he was in Oklahoma a year ago, where he purchased a used MP3 player from a thrift store for $9. When, a few weeks ago, he plugged his MP3 player into his computer to download a song, he was stunned to find his MP3 player loaded with confidential U. S. military files.

Having a nervous laugh, in an interview with TV New Zealand, Ogle said, "The more I look at it, the more I see, and the less I think I should be."

According to TV One News, the files in Ogle's MP3 player were containing the detailed information about the home addresses, Social Security numbers and cell phone numbers of U. S. soldiers. The player also contained mission briefings and lists of equipment deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq hot spots - most of the info appeared to be from 2005.

According to NZ journalist, who reported the story first, she was able to contact one of the U. S. soldiers through a number she got from Ogle's MP3, and soldier was speechless when she revealed why she called him.

Speaking to the CNN, Pentagon officials said that they are investigating the matter to confirm that the information found on the MP3 player came from the U. S. Department of Defense. However, the U. S. Embassy declined to comment on the incident.

On CNN, Chris Ogle claimed that information about the U. S. soldiers is in safe hands. He said that he has kept his MP3 player at a safe place, and he will happily hand it over to U. S. military officials, if they ask for it.
