John Ivory, who is director of applied research at a company called Dolphin Technology, plans to demonstrate to attendees of the InfowarCon 2007 (September 19-21 in Bethesda, Maryland) how their documents are loaded with SECRETS. Microsoft Office makes it easy to copy and paste Excel data into PowerPoint, then publish those slides online. But all the data in the spreadsheet file, not just the selected bits, are also published. Edits — cuts, changes, notes, etc. — in Word are all retained as well. It’s an old problem, but Ivory claims the government, as well as private companies, are still publishing their secrets without knowing it.
