Former NSA Contractor Designs Fonts to Fool Computer Surveillance
A former NSA contractor has designed a typeface that would be unreadable by text-scanning software (either used by a government agency or an independent hacker).
Sang Mun’s response to the NSA surveillance leak was direct – he created four new fonts, called ZXX, aimed to disrupt the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems used by Google and others to analyze text, according to a CNNreport.
