FBI.
There was a bunch of SECRET/NOFORN posted on public websites last year.

My first question would be how do you know it's classified? If it's something that you or your org is working on then your FSO is your POC. If it's not something you're working on then I'd again ask how do you know it's classified?
then call the fbi

Even if you have a strong suspicion, but aren't sure its classified, you should still notify the FBI, or your unit's CSO (or whatever you Army guys call 'em). They'll be glad you reported it, and get it looked into and handle it from there.
I forwarded the link to the data to the local FBI office right after Smokin Joe's post. I'm a civilian, and the only reason I asked here was because I figured that if anyone should be aware of this data leak, it should be you guys. Hopefully the document was watermarked and can be backtraced to its source if it is a still restricted document.
Kyobanim, I don't know the real major differences between classified/restricted data distributions, but it says "Destroy by any method that must prevent disclosure of contents or reconstruction of the document. ", so I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be online.

Send me the link and I'll let you know if it's classified, or someones trying to be funny.
