The bigger point is that these documents and the weaponized attacks should have been protected by end-to-end encryption throughout their lifecycle, including on the Web server. We are currently at a conference on building international norms for cyber and would like to establish 'lock up your weapons' as a norm.
Besides being a norm that benefits the community, it is a norm that would benefit every one of the 117 national cyber commands that currently exist.
