Secret information about the UK's nuclear-powered submarines was published on a website. Due to a technical error paragraphs of a Ministery of Defence report which were appeared to have blacked out, could in fact be read by anyone who copied and pasted them into another document. The document involved was an assessment drawn up by the head of the defence nuclear safety regulator, Commodore Andrew McFarlane, concerning options for the reactors in future submarines to replace the trident fleet. The document has now been properly covered up, but will be considered about the fleet’s ability to withstand a catastrophic accident.
I think that these documents should be treated more careful. This document could be really interesting for enemies of the UK and what can release into something we don’t want to happen. So in my opinion all these information should be kept more save and be checked on their safety system. Hopefully the MoD have act on this accident, so that we can assume that something similar as this is not to happen again.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is a huge blunder. They should really be more careful with such documents in the future. We do not want the UK enemies to read such delicate information.

How stupid can they be? Wikileaks doesn't even have to try. Such documents should be handled with utmost care but it seems people lack the intelligence to do so. So sad.
