> The criminal complaint alleges that on or about July 5, Zheng, an engineer employed by General Electric, used an elaborate and sophisticated means to remove electronic files containing GE’s trade secrets involving its turbine technologies. Specifically, Zheng is alleged to have used steganography to hide data files belonging to GE into an innocuous looking digital picture of a sunset, and then to have e-mailed the digital picture, which contained the stolen GE data files, to Zheng’s e-mail account.




On the other hand, he did get caught...


If they didn't we would never know, would we? We must do something like the Border Patrol does when they seize like 1kg of drugs and use that to assume that 1,000kg got through.
