14. Rookie move

There are right (secure) ways to redact and rookie ways to redact. I don’t think this was intentional, it believe it was just a rookie move.

I also remember reading sensitive Word documents with numerous revisions, and when the final version was sent out, the author forgot to “accept all changes”, so the original version, revisions, and comments were still in the document. Highly embarrassing.

Know your tools!
But i’m glad they bungled it 😄
