Answer:

Do not comment on the information or discuss with unauthorized recipients.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a rule, it is pertinent to have the knowledge that when working with information that are sensitive, one has to be very careful to know and understand what information to share , what not to share and who the recipient should be.

Unauthorized disclosure is when classified information are transfered to unauthorized persons or recipients. Classified information are information not meant for public knowledge which if disclosed, could undermine national security. To be a recipient of classified information, there must be an execution of approved non disclosure agreement, certification of favorable eligibility must be obtained and also possession of the need to know for the classified information.
