| MOD Fouls Up Again, Releases Classified UK and US Submarine Secrets |
| 2011-04-17 |
| The Ministry of Defence has admitted that secret information about the UK's nuclear powered submarines was made available on the internet by mistake. A technical error meant blacked-out parts of an online MoD report could be read by pasting into another document. Details were reported to include expert opinion on how well the fleet could cope with a catastrophic accident. The MoD said a secure version had now been published and it was working to stop such an incident happening again. Information also included measures used by the US Navy to protect its nuclear submarines. |

| #3 It's hard to keep up with what MS Office does to an electronic document. It is probably some secretary typing the document or even worse, the actual Officer making the report. If they aren't trained about these "little things" then you get these leaks. There ARE advantages to paper files. |

| #2 I seem to recall a similar incident on this side of the pond a couple of years ago. Doesn't anybody check anything anymore? |
