How long until the Google case gets dismissed?

I have been wondering the same thing. It would be useful to have an active docket of the DOJ for all cases against large corporations and how many now lose steam or have the lead attorneys replaced.

I also worry about the whistleblower program. If you are a corporate whistleblower, if the government wins on your tip you get around 15%-ish of the takings. So, whistleblowing on something big enough can net you a few million USD or more. Something else to watch. I assume this will break quickly too under this administration.

For future whistleblowers: get some temporary IP, then Russian piracy sites are your best friend!

Do you know anything about printer steganography? That’s what nailed Reality Winner ultimately.

Printer steganography can be circumvented and erased even.

I know about mixing the yellow dots by adding mode. But Erased? Do you have any resources I could learn from?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

There's some tools already to remove them, but just rebuild the document with OCR, or filter out the yellow dots somehow with photo editing (levels is your friend)
