A&E Discussion Boards Are Moving
Since you are devoted members of the A&E community, we’d like to let you know of some changes that will be taking place on our network discussion boards. Coming this October, we will be moving the A&E discussion boards to an easier, more flexible platform. This exciting update will allow us to improve and expand your experience as a user with improved board functionality and robust member profiles. When the new community is ready, we will be turning off the ability to post here, but you’ll still be able to read the current boards. We have also set up a forum where we’ll be answering questions about the upcoming transition. Stay tuned for more details in the next few weeks. We will be sure to keep you updated as we make the transition.

Sensitive Information?

Feb 15, 2009 7:53 PM
As you all are aware, the video editors blur out any "sensitive" material in the show. I would just like to suggest that there should be be a better check of what needs to be blurred. I have seen this more than once now, so it's not like it's anything new to me. I would just like to bring it to others/A&E to see what you all think. In no way am I trying to get someone in trouble. In addition, I am in video class in high school and if it were me I would've had this covered -_- lol

Here is my example:
I captured an image from the twelfth episode of Manhunters. In this photo you see sensitive information being aquired via the internet. They have the address bar blurred out for this reason. Unfortunately, what they didn't catch, is that the address is right there anyways. I checked it out myself and it works. In this case it asked me for a login, but in some other cases the website may have poor security measures and logins possibly could be bypassed.

Here is a link to the picture:

In no way am I claiming that this image belongs to me.
It's property of A&E =)

Now you can clearly see that the address is "https://atxp.choicepoint.com/at/GetReports_XP.asp?File=53KH6D3LY1.HTM"

Perhaps they need to blur this? It should have been...in my opinion.

What does everyone think?
