Where's a plumber when you need one?

Another one I can't make up. But it seems a document by the British Minister of Defense explaining how to stop information leaks ... was leaked.

This is from Slashdot:

"A restricted 2,400 page-document put out by the Minister of Defense designed to help intelligence personnel with information security has been leaked onto the internet ... Wikileaks notes that Joint Services Protocol 440 (JSP 440), was published in 2001 and lays out protocols to defend against hackers, journalists, and foreign spies ... it says, 'Leaks usually take the form of reports in the public media which appear to involve the unauthorized disclosure of official information (whether protectively marked or not) that causes political harm or embarrassment to either the UK Government or the Department concerned...

Malevolent forces at work?

"The threat [of leakage] is less likely to arise from positive acts of counter-espionage, than from leakage of information through disaffected members of staff, or as a result of the attentions of an investigative journalist, or simply by accident or carelessness."

It appears information isn't any more secure on the other side of the pond.
