'Hacktivists' to release covert communications tool

An international group of 'hacktivists', Hactivismo, says it is about to
release a computer program designed to let political dissidents
communicate via the internet without fear of government eavesdropping.

Hacktivismo says the program, named Camera/Shy, will make it simple to
bury encrypted information in innocuous-looking images that can then be
shared over the internet. Those with the same program will then be able
to automatically detect and extract concealed information. Anyone
monitoring the web for subversive activity will only see ordinary images.

Hacktivismo says Camera/Shy has been designed for 'non-technical users'
and will be similar to any normal browser. But it will automatically
scan web pages for images containing concealed data. The program has
been designed to work with any Microsoft operating system running
Internet Explorer 5 or later. Camera/Shy will be released at the
computer security convention H2K2 in New York City, on July 13.
