Justice e-censorship gaffe sparks controversy By Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus
It turns out the report began its life as a Microsoft Word document, and whoever was in charge of sanitizing it for public release did so by using Word's highlight tool, with the highlight color set to black, according to an analysis by Tim Sullivan, CEO of activePDF, a maker of server-side PDF tools. The simple and convenient technique would have been perfectly effective had the end product been a printed document, but it was all but useless for an electronic one. 'Using Acrobat, I'm actually able to move the black boxes around,' says Sullivan. 'The text is still there.'
