It's surprising it doesn't happen more often.

They send out review copies to "journalists" months in advance, all it takes is one of them to have poor opsec.

I’m guessing the copies they send to “journalists” have some sort of individualized watermark. Of course that would only fight leakers, not the “journalists” getting hacked
