Incomplete PDF Redaction Leaks Data From UK MoD
An anonymous reader writes "The UK Ministry of Defence has been left with egg on its face, after a supposedly redacted PDF detailing secrets related to air defence radar systems was published on a parliamentary website. The problem? Whoever did the redacting simply changed the sensitive text to black on a black background, making it possible for anyone to access the information simply by cutting-and-pasting. The incident is particularly embarrassing for the Ministry, as six months ago precisely the same security screw-up occurred — that time related to sensitive information about nuclear submarines."
No, they only "need" to be classified if a country constantly tries to force their views and politics down everyone else's throats (US and Christian "crusades", I'm looking at you!). It just shows that these secrets are used for evil and bad things, for murdering people.
If you worry that some nuclear designs leak out, what about not creating them in the first place? Their only purpose is to mass kill thousands of people. And US is still the ONLY country in the history to even use nuclear weapons against another country. It's such a fucking huge hypocrisy. "Protecting from evil countries" while US itself is the root of evil and has always been. But what more can you expect from a country made of Christians and their beliefs in some imaginary god in the sky.
Maybe I'm being too harsh on US though, as it's clear this has roots all the way back to ancient European beliefs, Rome and Christianity. At least Buddhism teaches real things, real values and there's no imaginary persons, as Buddha himself has actually lived. And he said to think and evaluate things with your own brains, instead of following some stupid book.
