Sensitive data has been found on KPMG's website soon after the consultancy released a report revealing blue chip companies doing the same.

Security researcher Robin Wood found 400 email addresses, 164 users and 112 PC names along with printers, software versions and  "quite a lot of internal directories" on the US KPMG site.

He said the consultancy was running IIS servers on version 6, two versions out of date. KPMG had earlier reported that every company on the FTSE 350 Index list had left employee usernames, email addresses and sensitive internal file location information online.
