Cue more training on Document/Laptop security for everyone in the Forces.
Missing the point of who was doing the 'losing' of such documents, and targeting THEM...

Unless your intelligence handler tells to leave this file at a bus stop so that it will end up in the hands of a BBC journalist who owns a computer that the KGB can easily hack Missing the point of who was doing the 'losing' of such documents, and targeting THEM...

Seriously though, who carries a single classified file about with them, that they don't carry in a case or messenger bag?
I mean nobody ever looks at what others are reading on the bus
Either someone is very very stupid or that file was supposed to get lost
You also can’t just carry secret stuff like that, it has to be double bagged with only the inner package being marked secret.
Once the outer bag had been opened then the inner bag will have had sufficient warning on it not to open it any further.
If it was truly found like that then someone potentially did it on purpose.

Given the information contained this looks like a deliberate plant to reach the media.
Of course it is, as well as the likelihood of the finder handing it to the media. This isn't a case of someone just forgetting to pick it up alongside their shopping when catching the no.7Chicken Chaser said:

I’ll go further - who prints stuff out?Seriously though, who carries a single classified file about with them, that they don't carry in a case or messenger bag?

I currently work in a very secure environment (though probably a bit less secure than people who decide to annoy the Russians). No one prints. Ever. Everything “normal” is maintained on an irritatingly secure laptop. Everything secure is on a different laptop that bricks itself if you look at it the wrong way.
If there was a printer in the office (there isn’t), we’d get a bloke from security poling up every time we used it.

Exactly, anything Secret and above needs to be held on a register that the MOD police could turn up unannounced and audit. The days of dusty dossiers are over!I currently work in a very secure environment (though probably a bit less secure than people who decide to annoy the Russians). No one prints. Ever.

Have to agree the question is who did the planting?Or someone on the inside making a career ending stance against the plans?

This is the thing, because it’s all on a register then surely whoever had this information signed out to them will lose their security clearance and basically ruin their careers. It’s not as easy as just printing it out and leaving it somewhere.
You can't print, without authorisation and then every copy is numbered and identified in a unique way and then signed for,You can't take copies onto a usb stick, because everything is restricted. The few that are allowed to move copies electronically around, the devices are heavily controlled, encrypted, as are the laptops etc.
