[Am-info] Embarrassing stuff left in Word docs on MSFT sites

[Stephen A. Carter]

"[...W]hy not run a gentle web spider against all Microsoft sites in
English, specifically looking for other instances of tracking data
not removed from documents? I coded a bunch of scripts and let them
run through the night, fetching approximately 10,000 unique
documents; over 10% was identified as containing change tracking
records. I decided to collect only those with deleted text still
present, yielding a crop of over 5% of all documents."
