Three Japanese naval officers who swapped pornography on their computers triggered a scandal over a possible leak of sensitive data linked to Japan's missile defense system, a newspaper said on Thursday.
Police launched a probe last week after a navy officer married to a Chinese woman was found to have taken home a computer disk containing information about the high-tech Aegis radar system, domestic media said.

Aegis is used on Japanese destroyers that are to be fitted with SM-3 missile interceptors from this year as part of the missile defense program.

It seems so sad that this is what missile defense has come to. Of all the things that can offer leaks into important defense documents, this has to be the most embarrassing.
The only "good" news is that it wasn't the USA, which I would have thought would be more likely. Thank heavens
