      ab: The article discusses the hazards associated with peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, examining the security issues associated with such networks and establishing the vulnerabilities present with such P2P networks. P2P networks threaten corporate and individual security, the authors state, due to the presence of potentially damaging confidential documents as well as the presence of criminals on these networks. Also discussed is experimental evidence of risks to personal and business financial information.
