The latest Wikileaks release of leaked CIA cyberweapons includes "Scribbles" -- referred to by the CIA as the "Snowden Stopper" -- a watermarking tool that embeds web-beacon style tracking beacons into secret documents that quietly notify a central server every time the document is opened.
The beacons are references to image files hosted on a server the CIA controls. Rendering this image requires that the user's computer contact the CIA server to fetch a copy, giving the CIA insight into who is opening the document and when and where it is opened.

So what if I take a screenshot of the documents....i mean this seems a bit trivial to defeat

Yeah corporations do that, too. Hell some porn sites do. Heaven forbid we try to protect classified the way we do intellectual property. It's not hard a hard measure to defeat FWIW.

Why wouldn't they attempt to prevent leaking, and if leaked, catch the parties involved?
I don't think the CIA are angels and I'm not justifying everything they do, but this seems logical. Why wouldn't any national intelligence agency protect and track sensitive information?
What this article describes isn't "evil and unjust," anything less would be negligence on their part IMO.

I am not defending nor attacking the CIA.
However, why the hell are you implying it is wrong for them to try to stop classified documents from being leaked?

Farkat Jezelnorpth was telling me about this.

It's actually crazy they didn't already have such a system in place.
God bless Snowden

So the CIA doesn't know what a sandbox is? Or thinks anyone that would be involved in pilfering their goodies doesn't?
For real man?
