It's called steganography and has been around for ages. I wrote code back in the, well let's just say "a while ago", that "hid" data in PNG files.
It was super easy too right? i want to say it was a simple batch file. I remember I had a .rar file full of pornography that I disguised as a shitty cat meme. I even tested out uploading it to some image hosting website to see if it would strip that data out and nope I was able to download a copy and open it with winrar no issues. I wonder of somewhere there is a shitty cat meme floating around the Internet with a bunch of porn hidden inside it.
I really, really hate this site. This is not the first time I've seen low quality garbage. It reports old news as crazy new novel techniques.
