That’s because cables likes the ones leaked to WikiLeaks have been replaced by Diplopedia, a highly secure system by which ambassadors and their staffs can compare notes, pass tips and even offer candid observations on world leaders, Dayo Olopade, a political reporter, writes in The Daily Beast. Olopade recently spoke with officials in the office of eDipolmacy about cybersecurity efforts in the wake of leak of the trove of classified and unclassified diplomatic cables that span 1966 to 2010.
