Even so, they’re going find this guy fast. Just have to cross reference all this participants of the leaked meetings
Comment on It looks like someone at Activision is leaking Slack screenshots to right-wing X users

I’m honestly surprised that Slack doesn’t have some kind of steganographic watermarking so that leaked screenshots can be traced back to the original user, given how many big companies use it for all their internal comms.

I see you don’t use slack at work. Everyone is in every channel all the time for no reason. It’s madness.
icecreamtaco@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I did use slack; we had general channels with tons of people and smaller channels/meeting rooms with 5-30 people. If it was a 5-30 channel they can be found.

Only if that channel was private. You don’t have to join a channel to be able to read its contents.

The reason is that it’s great for collaboration and sharing info

If this person is like every other online chud they’ll find him before they finish cross referencing chat attendees.

Christ I got added to this for college, such a mess of an app. Really difficult to follow what is what on it.

It’s really not. Depends on how your structure it I suppose

Ok well Im not an idiot, I have plenty of comms apps and that one died really quickly presumably because everyone’s experience was as boring and disjointed as mine

The techniques you’re thinking of are for documents sent by email or some such. You add innocuous whitespace or typos that are unique to each one, and send them individually. If one leaks, you can match it to the employee who received it. That doesn’t work for screenshots of Slack.

Well you could make it work, for example some random pattern in chat backgrounds that trace back to whoever is the user. That would still show up in a screenshot.
frezik@midwest.social 1 week ago
Slack or the OS would need to support it directly, and I don’t think either of those have it.
ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 1 week ago
True, but that’s why the original comment seemed surprised, that a service like Slack doesn’t have this given how many corporations use it.

These companies can barely the basics work on their apps, let alone all of this
