More Than Meets the Eye - Information Security Magazine
"You're confident a trusted employee can't steal research information on your company's
new anti-cancer drug or plans for its next acquisition. Physical and logical controls
monitor just about everything that leaves the building or the network, even encrypted
messages sent to unauthorized recipients. But what about the message hidden in the
family vacation photo he emailed to his "cousin"? Steganography has just bypassed
all your defenses."

Mumbai police
fail to crack July 11 suspects’ mail - Daily News & Analysis
"Investigators have not been able to crack the contents of at least 35 email accounts
from which, they believe, coded instructions were sent to the perpetrators of the
July 11 blasts by their Lashkar-e-Tayiba bosses in Pakistan. Sources said the instructions,
which included maps, photographs, and technical details (how to use explosives and
camouflage them), were disguised by means of steganography (the art of hiding messages
in graphic files)."

Steganography for Dummies: The security technique of hiding secrets in plain sight
is becoming user friendly. Is that a good thing? - CSO Online
"Let's not kid ourselves. Terrorists using steganography shouldn't be considered
a shocking conclusion or written off as sensationalist conspiracy theory. We should,
in fact, assume they're using it. And the more user-friendly the technology becomes,
the more users it will attract, including terrorists, drug syndicates, pornographers,
the mafia and anyone else with something to hide. New steganography software gives
them an easy, highly secure way to hide it."
