Hundreds of Czech spies named online in archive blunder
A Czech government institute mistakenly posted the names of hundreds of former military intelligence agents online.
The Security Services Archive of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes published in March a database of thousands of communist-era agents.
But 380 of them continued to work for military intelligence after the 1989 collapse of communism. The database, which was available online until June, was not supposed to contain their details. The institute admitted its mistake and the archive director, Ladislav Bukovszky, was fired.
