This is just too fun to let it pass without a comment. The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera was able to read the full content of the U.S. Army report regarding the March 4 Baghdad shooting in the course of which Italian secret agent Nicola Calipari was shot dead by U.S. soldiers, including those parts that were blackened out before releasing the report to the public.
How could the clever hackers at Corriere della Sera manage to pull off this trick? Well, simply by selecting the blackened text in Acrobat Reader, copying and pasting into a MS Word document! How cunning!
Here’s a page linking to the original as well as the decoded report.
in truth the discovery has been made by an italian blogger and has been published this morning on his blog (www.macchianera.net)
Paolo this has been discovered between yesterday night and today morning by many different people, but not everyone has felt the urge of embellish himself in a blog.
ciao
