Personal data, including the Social Security numbers of 28,000 sailors
and members of their families, have been found on a civilian Web site,
triggering a criminal investigation.

The Navy said Friday the information was in five documents and included
people’s names, birth dates and Social Security numbers.

Navy spokesman Lt. Justin Cole would not identify the Web site or its
owner, but said the information had been removed. He would not provide
any details about how the information ended up on the site.
