And if they are digital, how has there not been any sort of hack? ‘Anonymous’ or foreign actors would surely love to have a chance to air the dirty laundry, no?

Turns out it’s generally hard to hack something but occasionally there is a mistake allowing someone else in. Just don’t count on it.
Assume the files have been marked and that they would know it’s you who leaked it. You’d probably get prosecuted at the very least and if there is a vote to release the files you’ll go to prison for nothing.
Metadata can be scrubbed.
I did not even think of putting a watermark in meta data. There are a lot of other ways to watermark documents if you care about who leaks it.
And we have ways to strip it. Yawn.
But if you miss one you go to jail. For what it’s worth you don’t even have to watermark them as long as you make them belive you have for it to work well enough.
