FLORIDA—January 5, 2016—Stego recently announced a Kickstarter project to bring their product to iOS and Windows, as it is currently only available on Android devices and desktop web browsers. Stego is an open source project that allows users to hide data inside of images. This data can consist of anything. It can be a video clip, a private file, or simply another picture. People can use Stego to send private information between family members, loved ones, and friends. Social media has changed the light by which people see the information. By hiding images or files inside of another image, people will be able to share information in a worry-free environment. Say a person went to a party the other weekend, and they had the most amazing time. They met someone really cool, had a few drinks, hung out with their friends, and took pictures to capture those moments. Their boss may not be as impressed when that person goes to post those pictures. This is where Stego comes in.
So, that user really wants their friends to know about that party? No problem. All they have to do is select the image they want to hide, and the image they choose to hide it with. It’s that easy! Now their friends can see those awesome pictures they really want to share by decoding the image they posted! They will see an image of their social night out, while everyone else will be left to see a different image, for example, one of a cute kitten. How private will a user’s information be? When creating an account on a social media website, this is a question that most people ask themselves. The Internet has made it easier than ever to share and receive information. A boss, co-worker, or even a company can research information about anyone with the click of a button. Many times they see the information that people’s friends see. Stego will serve as the solution to this privacy issue. However, before everyone can enjoy the privacy they should have in their lives, Stego needs help. That’s why they launched this Kickstarter campaign. The goal of this project is to raise $11,000 by January 28, 2016. The funds raised will go towards research and programming.
To help bring this open source project to iOS and Windows, please visit the Kickstarter campaign or click here. Perks will be delivered by June 2016.
Please keep in mind this is an “all-or-nothing” deal, which means if the campaign does not reach the funding goal then the project cannot move forward. So know that any amount given can make a difference, and this is an incredible opportunity to be a part of a special campaign! Help Stego reach the goal by sharing this on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks. The more people know about this, the more support the campaign will receive.
