Wakefield, Robin <robin.wakefi...@ubs.com>
is rumored to have said:
Hello,
Our internal security team have detected an archived post from me
dating back to August 2014 that contains some internal host
information.
Can this post be removed please?
In short: no, it cannot. That's not a possibility, and your security
team should know it. Anything posted publicly to the Internet risks the
fate of being forever public, and that it most true for postings to
lists like this one.
This is a public mailing list. It does not have a single authoritative
archive. Posted messages are distributed swiftly to hundreds of
recipient addresses, some of which feed into public and private archives
or subsequent modes of distribution. No one knows all or even most of
the places that your formerly-internal information has been stored. The
idea that an accidental disclosure can be reversed 8 years after the
fact is a fantasy.
Regards
Robin Wakefield
