Of course the next step beyond that is "leaking" false information as a decoy by placing large bets on certain events. If that happens enough times it seems like it should wash away the value for agencies hoping to act on "privileged" information.

Sure, it's an information warfare, but at its core, you can mask a signal, but you will never be able to eliminate the signal, just dilute it, and at a cost.
