19. NOTICE TO DOD EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS ON PROTECTING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

AND THE INTEGRITY OF UNCLASSIFIED GOVERNMENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)

SYSTEMS

The recent disclosure of U.S. Government documents by WikiLeaks has caused damage to our national security.

Each DoD employee and contractor is obligated to protect classified information and the integrity of government IT systems in accordance with applicable laws and DoD policies.

Unauthorized disclosures of classified documents (whether in print, on a blog, or on websites) do not alter the documents’ classified status or automatically result in declassification of the documents. To the contrary, classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites or disclosed to the media, remains classified, and must be treated as such by DoD employees and contractors, until it is declassified by an appropriate original classification authority.

DoD employees and contractors are reminded of the following obligations with respect to protecting classified information and the integrity of unclassified government IT systems.

DoD employees or contractors shall not access classified information unless they have:

o Received a favorable determination of eligibility for access by an appropriate authority, o Signed an approved nondisclosure agreement, o Demonstrated a need to know the information, and o Received training on proper safeguarding of classified information and on the criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions that may be imposed on an individual who fails to protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure.

DoD employees or contractors shall not remove classified information from official premises or disclose it without proper authorization.

Except as authorized by DoD policy and procedures, DoD employees or contractors shall not, while accessing the web on unclassified government systems (including BlackBerries or other smartphones), access or download documents that are marked classified (including classified documents publicly available on WikiLeaks.org and other websites), as doing so risks putting classified information on unclassified IT systems.

This requirement applies to accessing or downloading that occurs using government computers or employees’ or contractors’ personally owned computers that access unclassified government systems, either through remote Outlook access or other remote access capabilities that enable connection to these government systems.

This requirement does not restrict employee or contractor access to unclassified, publicly available news reports (and other unclassified material) that may in turn discuss classified material, as distinguished from access to the underlying classified documents available on public websites or otherwise in the public domain.

DoD employees or contractors shall refer all public queries on this matter to their servicing Public Affairs office;

they shall neither confirm or deny the presence of classified information in articles or websites in the public domain.

DoD employees or contractors shall refer Congressional queries pertaining to the presence of classified information in articles or websites in the public domain to their servicing Congressional Affairs office.

DoD employees and contractors who believe they have inadvertently accessed or downloaded classified information from a public website via an unclassified government IT system, or without prior authorization, shall contact theirinformation assurance manager (IAM) or information assurance office (IAO) for assistance. Note: In the case of classified documents inadvertently accessed or downloaded from the WikiLeaks website or other websites posting WikiLeaks-related classified documents, the IAM will document each occurrence and delete the affected file

(s) by holding down the SHIFT key while pressing the DELETE key for Windows-based systems. No incident report or further sanitization of government IT systems is required. This guidance pertains only to the accessing or downloading of the classified documents described above because of the extent of the compromise and the prohibitive cost of standard sanitization procedures. All other classified spillages must be handled in accordance with existing regulations.
