Practical Security Advice for Campaigns and Activists should include never ever distributing documents in Micro$oft word format as it's a very well known carrier for macro viruses which can do pretty much anything on your computer they like, maybe logging hushmail passwords etc.

Having just skimmed through this document, it does include this advice which you the poster of the above seem to have ignored:

"On the computer, use simple text editors such as NotePad on Windows, SimpleText on Macs or
emacs/vi on Linux. Big programmes such as Microsoft Word, Lotus Notes, etc often store backups of
your text, and have a variety of issues that you would probably want to avoid, as if your computer
should be stolen, others may find it easier to locate the letters you have created. In fact, we would
recommend that you avoid Micro$oft Word altogether."

I'm sorry to be such a nag as your hushmail info is VERY useful and important, but this security stuff is so critical (for some) and the mistake you made was fundamentally wrong, rather like an innoculation clinic deciding to use some old syringes they found in the gutter.

To be honest, trying to cram the whole subject of computer security into a single page as this document does is absurd. It's a very large and complex subject and and by treating it in such a superficial manner, the authors are likely to make activists feel safe when in fact they are not. Computer security really needs to be properly researched and properly documented in an activist friendly format. Any takers?

I've converted the word doc into a PDF file which is safe to distribute. Suggest other activists replace their word copies with this.
