MIT Project aims human buffer overflow at Secret Service
Apparently the Secret Service takes an interest in people who value their privacy and inquire about the yellow-dotted “serial numbers” some or all color printers emit as a way to identify counterfeiters.
It’s a thought to sign up as many people as you can to send their own inquiries to the printer manufacturers. On the other hand, does anybody know if a (carefully selected) pattern of yellow dots wouldn’t solve the privacy problem with less exposure?
