This could identify several facts about the documents that the banks and servicers have been denying for years.

Hat tip to M.C., who informs me that “the article is a little misleading because it implies it is only color laser printers but 60 minutes did a special about it decades ago and it was all printers and all copiers produce a unique image on each sheet of paper. OI believe the old version was just an inkless imprint like a document stamp.”

The pages from the NSA’s printers came with invisible tracking dots. This is a common feature in modern printers for forensics investigations, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. They’re nearly invisible to the naked eye, but if you invert the colors, like Rob Graham from Errata Security did, they’re a lot more obvious.

Those dots are part of a DocuColor pattern, a grid of 15 by 8 yellow dots repeated over the edges of printed pages. It’s a code packed with tracking information, and can be translated to tell you the time, date and serial number of the printer it came from.

By using the code in the leaked documents, Errata Security saw that the pages were printed on May 9 at 6:20 p.m., on a printer with the serial number 29535218.
