"a form of security through obscurity"


We wish, once again, to clarify our understanding regarding the safety of accessing NeuroCooking from a f e d e r a l computer.

We have not ourselves, to the best of our knowledge, published here any classified information. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that reader-contributed comments on NeuroCooking may contain information that is classified. While comments are moderated, classified information differs from obscenity, which is easy to weed out, in being potentially inconspicuous. In particular, we cannot be sure that steganography has not been used to insert classified information into NeuroCooking comments.

At this time, we are unaware of any classified material on NeuroCooking. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
