Can they not tweak specific word variations to track down where the leak is coming from? You can narrow it down to which department the leak is coming from at least.
- simlevesque 9y agoThat's assuming the leaker is repeating what (s)he heard/read verbatim instead of paraphrasing.

- tajen 9y agoIs there a name for that? Steganography? Watermarking? Both don’t specifically describe the idea of swapping words or homographs (rn = m) to embed the name of the person who received a copy of a document to bust the leaker.
