An ACTA of insecurity

Posted on March 24, 2010 by Dissent

By now, the leaked copy of the January 18, 2010 draft of ACTA is all over the web. What I don’t understand is the notice on the cover:

This document must be protected from unauthorized disclosure, but may be mailed or transmitted over unclassified e-mail or fax, discussed over unsecured phone lines, and stored on unclassified computer systems. It must be stored in a locked or secured building, room, or cabinet.

In other words, they weren’t serious about protecting it from unauthorized disclosure.
