The Czech Military Intelligence Service posted the names of 380 former military intelligence agents on the Internet by mistake, officials confirmed on Monday.
The Security Services Archive of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes collected the names for its database of thousands of communist-era agents that was published in April.
Yet among the list, some Czech agents continued to work for service even after the fall of communism in 1989.
The list remained on the Web until someone noticed it then the list was quickly removed in June.
The institute admitted the mistake and archive director Ladislav Bukovszky was fired.
The Mlada Fronta Dnes, a Czech newspaper that first revealed the case, said that some of the agents are active even today, a claim that has been denied by the intelligence service.
