It was much worse than that, considering the espionage that produced nearly 100,000 documents delivered from the Manhatten Project to USSR atomic weapons boss Kurchatov's office. Boxes and boxes of stolen docs made Kurchatov suspicious that they were meant to mislead the USSR.
To put a number on the difficulty of the Manhattan Project keeping its "secrets": the Manhattan Project security and intelligence officers investigated about 2 leaks *per day* on average for the entirety of the wartime atomic bomb effort.
