AT&T Accidentally Leaks NSA Suit Information

op12 writes "CNET has an article describing how AT&T accidentally leaked sensitive information involving the NSA lawsuit. From the article: 'AT&T's attorneys this week filed a 25-page legal brief striped with thick black lines that were intended to obscure portions of three pages and render them unreadable. But the obscured text nevertheless can be copied and pasted inside some PDF readers, including Preview under Apple's OS X and the xpdf utility used with X11. The deleted portions of the legal brief seek to offer benign reasons why AT&T would allegedly have a secret room at its downtown San Francisco switching center that would be designed to monitor Internet and telephone traffic. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which filed the class action lawsuit in January, alleges that room is used by an unlawful National Security Agency surveillance program.""

    So you basically just bash non-techies in your thread and they mod you up five for that. Honestly, the arrogance of modern day geeks knows no bounds.

  3. *Exactly* as evil as Nazis. by mikelieman · · Score: 0, Troll

    When the FIRST person was denied due process, tied to a chair and beaten to death in the "War on Terror", we ( The USA ) became exactly as evil as the Nazis.

    The ONLY differences are (so far) the methods and bodycount.
