UBC journalism students find sensitive US Homeland Security data in Ghana
A team of UBC journalism students investigating e-waste in three countries for an international reporting course uncovered a previously unknown US security breach in a country listed as one of the top 10 sources of cybercrime globally.
The students purchased hard drives in an open-air market in Ghana for $40 (Cdn) that turned out to contain sensitive information about multimillion-dollar defence contracts between the Pentagon, Department of Homeland Security and Northrop Grumman, one of the largest military contractors in the U.S.
