I find it surprising that the Intercept would be so cavalier about the source material, given that it is likely to have a highly restricted distribution list inside Amazon.
Reminds me of this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/13/business/media/the-intercept-source-reality-winner.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/13/business/media/the-interc...
> The Intercept scrambled to publish a story on the report, ignoring the most basic security precautions. The lead reporter on the story sent a copy of the document, which contained a crease showing it had been printed out, to the N.S.A. media affairs office, all but identifying Ms. Winner as the leaker.
- ehaughee 6y agoThis ticket wasn't an encrypted ticket (and thus was not locked down). I'm looking at it right now and I have nothing to do with security nor PR. I don't find this surprising as it contains no proprietary, classified, or customer information.
- ummonk 6y agoThere is potentially traceable information there including laptop browser extensions as well as phone camera specs. I'm not sure how doxxable it is but if the Intercept were exercising appropriate caution they wouldn't have published the photo.
- ehaughee 6y agoSorry, I wasn't trying to dispute your statement on the Intercept's actions. I was just pointing out that the ticket wasn't any more secret or locked down than any normal ticket and thus a large swath of the company had access (although the ticket has since been made private), not a highly restricted distribution list.
