Reminder: This Podesta email could potentially lead to a smoking gun (pizzagate)

Remember this thread?

The user found that in one of the podesta emails, an image tested positive to a steganography method called JPHIDE. In non technical terms this means that hidden data (text message, other image, or any other file) has been intentionally encoded in the image itself. If someone managed to find the password, he or she would have access to the hidden data, which in turn could potentially be a smoking gun.

SpyHunter?? This SpyHunter?

Seriously, I'll trust Bleeping Computer all the way over that crap. That program was well known in the malware removal communities about 10 years ago for throwing false positives and fake removals in order to trick users into paying for the licence. I think it was also reported to be using other products' detection databases. I'm not saying this particular detection was wrong, I don't know, but either way that product is not well regarded in the security fields.

Great, what do you suggest here?

Nothing. I was thinking of another program, it's all good.
