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?
