This was not shared on the list yet:

"In a breach of its own security the MoD was left embarrassed after its advice on keeping information out of the hands 
of Russian and Chinese spies,
investigative journalists and “curious members of the public” was posted online.

The Defence Manual of Security describes methods of countering the threat from "subversive or terrorist organisations" 
and investigative journalists.

It also sets out tactics for preventing Chinese and Russian intelligence services from using blackmail or gadgets to 
obtain sensitive information.

The three-volume, 560,000-word guide - marked "Restricted" - was released on the Wikileaks website, which campaigns for 
freedom of information."
