Never use the 'pixellation' effect for text anonymization

In the Bishop Fox blog article, the authors discuss a new tool called Unredacter, which aims to remove pixelation from images, particularly from documents that may contain sensitive data. Pixelation is often used to obscure information, but Unredacter seeks to restore the original, hidden content. The tool operates by analyzing images and recognizing patterns, allowing for an accurate reconstruction of blurred sections. The article also provides examples of how Unredacter can be utilized in practice and what potential risks are associated with the misuse of such a tool. The authors highlight the ethical aspects of using such technologies and suggest that they should be used responsibly. In summary, Unredacter is an innovative tool that could significantly impact how we store and share visual information, but it also carries certain dangers that need to be considered.
