And if they are digital, how has there not been any sort of hack? ‘Anonymous’ or foreign actors would surely love to have a chance to air the dirty laundry, no?

    I did not even think of putting a watermark in meta data. There are a lot of other ways to watermark documents if you care about who leaks it.

    And we have ways to strip it. Yawn.

    Out of curiosity how do you guarantee you've stripped out all identifiable marks if you don't know they're there?

    Not that I doubt your claim, but I used to water mark screeners for pre-release movies so if they turned up on torrent sites we'd know where they leaked from. We used unique pixel markings on pre-selected frames. I couldn't imagine how anyone would know to look for them or recognize them for what they were in a 2k image unless they already knew what and where to look.

    According to Senator Durbin there are over 100,00 "files". It would take thousands of hours.

    You could use a script, but then you're back to the same problem. You still have to ensure nothing's coded into it.

    I think the best you could do with 100% certainty is cherry pick select documents if you had the ability to search them.
