Johannes writes, "One of the guys from Quintessenz, an Austrial civil rights organization, subscribed himself under a fake identity to an NSA internal mailing list about biometrics in 1994. he stored all the info and -- because the admin had some problems while migrating the list to another server -- even could download secret data. They are now datamining the NSA list and publishing the list and the results." Link (Thanks, Johannes!)
