We describe the information security risks users' face including personal identification disclosure and leakage of proprietary business information. We illustrate those risks through honey-pot experiments and discuss how peer-to-peer industry dynamics are contributing to the security problem.* Keywords: Security, Peer-to-peer, File sharing.
