There are couple of issues here
- Self Admittedly leak is serious according to all parties concerned and the statements have been made to this effect.
- Seriousness of the leak can be because of two reasons
a. Source and extent of access to the original leak i.e. subcontractor.
He may have provided the technical manual to the Aussie newspaper but there is no saying what level of access he had and what else he may have taken along with him. May be this was teaser and he is holding on to good stuff for future benefit
b. Data control practices of DCNS
There shouldn't even arise an occasion where retired/fired employee can take off with any thing which is restricted. That it happened again puts into question if the data control practices were lax and if so then how many other such incidents happened which haven't come to light.
Future course of action
- That the leak happened itself is a breach of contract and if not contract then an ethics breach by DCNS. It remains to be seen if GoI will take any punitive action and if so what would be the extent of it.
- This leak provides further weight to the logic of forgoing imports. The very fact that the manual could have been a public knowledge according @Nilgiri and @PARIKRAMA is a matter of concern. Submarines product should be like a black box but this is obviously not the case when various other parties easily have access to the broad contours of the product
