Clever but easy to work around now that everyone knows the trick.
- techdragon 4y agoEven easier now major operating systems can just OCR a screenshot. Instant clip a text block and by bye white space… so long tracking spaces, good riddance.

- illys 4y ago"... everyone knows the trick"... Everyone who read the tweet or commented here at this current point in time. Not sure most people who might be future leakers of classified stuff and targetted by this trick will be aware of it.

- jp42 4y agoI'm sure there must be advance techniques to catch leakers...spaces and characters is quite old, though it still works if one is not careful.
