The information · Sensitive drawings
I show how The Glasshouse is controlled: its doors, its cameras, its screens and its speakers. Not everyone should be able to see me. Somebody has to decide who can.
The wrong way
A second opinion
On Monday he forwards them to a mate at another firm, for "a second opinion".
BuildBuild: A few weeks later…
The forum
The drawings turn up on a hackers' forum. Two hooded figures, grinning at a laptop.
BuildBuild: Meanwhile…
Nobody tells anyone
The engineer tells his supervisor. The supervisor tells nobody. Nobody tells the client.
In useIn use: Opening day…
Pay up
Every screen in the mall shows the same message, and the speakers read it out on repeat. Thousands of shoppers have a very unusual morning.
In use
When?
The client hears it from the shoppers first. Every sensitive drawing is reissued and the controls re-secured.
Marcus (client's project manager): When were you going to tell us?
The drawings got out in a day. Nobody said a word. On opening day, someone else was running the building.
+6 weeks on the back alley's bill: Sensitive drawings with no gate round them: every sensitive drawing reissued and the controls re-secured.
