@mplammers @democracynow I also like to point out how she got caught: RLW used a color printer to print the docs she leaked, and the model of printer in her office printed yellow #trackerDots. Then #wikileaks scanned the docs, and the tracker dots appeared on the digital copy that wikileaks published, which trivially traced to RLW's office. Consumers should be boycotting relevant printer makers.
@resist1984
It's ALL of them and those dots have been there for many years now.

@gemlog @democracynow @mplammers i've not heard of any lab finding tracker dots on Samsung or Oki printers. EFF saw the trend spreading and just gave up and said "they're all doing it", yet there is no law requiring it. It's better to buy a printer make not known to be printing S/Ns than to get one known to be. BTW, mono printers are much less likely to have tracker dots.
@mplammers @democracynow @gemlog If someone gets stung by a known culprit, it's a total loss; but getting stung by an unknown at least advances public awareness.
@gemlog @democracynow @mplammers There's also some degree of inherent protection with an unknown printer. The attacker/prosecutor has to think "do we really want to play this card in court and increase public knowlege?" Whereas if it's an HP printer, no adversary has cause to hold back.
