Easton is hired by a materials company to investigate why a competitor seems to be able to apply for patents for exactly the same technologies faster than they can. The competitor doesn't even produce or make anything, they seem to exist only to sit on patents.
Easton finds John, a proud father and dog owner that is always bringing new pictures into the office on a USB key. He loads them onto his computer each morning, tries to show them to coworkers as they walk past, then copies them back onto the USB key in the afternoon. Since it is just pictures of his children and his dogs, no one thought anything of it.
At the very least, John might be abusing company time editing his photos, but there is no such software on his system.
What activity does Easton suspect John is up to?
A) Picture fuzzing
B) Steganography
C) Cryptography
D) Reverse Social Engineering

Sometimes social engineering principles are used to keep people from becoming suspicious. If John wasn't so willing to share his pictures, and was more private about it, suspicion may have come sooner.
