The revelation comes after finding images uploaded to a portal where computer experts said: “It's interesting because when you talk to computer scientists you can identify each image by its ID card, that is, every document that scans it creates an image like what we see on the screen, but that image has metadata. , and that metadata is the digital fingerprint of that image.”
The experts, as highlighted by Ñáñez, explained what the metadata says, in this case, “what brand of equipment scanned the document, the serial number of the equipment and the time and day the document was copied. .”
“We are now less than 15 days away from the events [electorales] And some computer scientists sold these images as records so we can start showing diagnoses. Of the 9,472 images they originally uploaded to the website, 30% of the records they claimed to have, when they specialized, they found that 83% of those images had no metadata. Editing software means that 83% of these images are not true copies of the original,” Ñáñez pointed out.
