Your friend called and told you that he saw information about the classified XYZ program on the Internet. As a cleared employee who does not work on the XYZ program, is it okay for you to view that information on the Internet since it's already in the public domain?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on this scenario it can be said that Yes, it is ok for you to view this information. The main reason for this being that the information is already in the public domain. Even though you are cleared you still do not have the authority to view private information from the companies projects because you do no longer work for the company but since it has been leaked and already viewed by the entire world then it is ok for you to view as well. Anything made public on the internet can be viewed by anyone around the world.
