By Hot female spies has to be the most effective form of intelligence gathering as this latest incident once again shows:
The Prime Minister’s Office is investigating allegations that an extramarital affairs scandal involving South Korean officials, including the former chief of the Consulate General in Shanghai, has been linked to a leak of classified government material.
The office kicked off the probe after being informed that a set of documents, including contact information for approximately 200 high-profile Korean government officials and politicians, were found in the computer files of a Chinese woman who was not part of the foreign mission.
The leaked documents also include emergency contact information of officials of the Shanghai mission, the records of visa issuances, and a document noting reshuffles at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MOFAT).
The 33-year-old Chinese female, identified only as Dung, reportedly was involved in a love triangle with two Korean officials at the Shanghai mission. [Korea Times]
Well hopefully they will get around to releasing a photo that isn’t blurred, but even with the photo blurred the Chinese spy does appear to be quite attractive. So does anyone think she is better looking than prior North Korean spies?

They didn't blur the lady enough: I recognize that cleavage.

Why can't Korean "officials" control themselves in the name of the ROK? For her to have gotten those 200 names and numbers, whichever "official(s)" must've been passed out drunk. He was probably naked at the time and is a serious alcoholic as well.

Chickenhead #2, As always The Master! GI Korea, I know very little about computers & related technology but I do know that blurred photos can be deblurred (I just made up a word. How do you go about putting it in a dictionary?). I read about some child molester who took some sexual abuse photos in Thailand I think. He took a photo of himself but he blurred it by twisting the photo in a spiral, it was much more blurred than the spy's photo in the article. Anyway the police were able to remove the spiral blur to almost normal. They identified the POS & arrested him. Please fix the photo, at least of the woman if you can. Surely diplomats with access to classified information could be periodically polygraphed. How could somebody betray their country over some pogee? Obviously these diplomats were thinking with the wrong head. To be honest if she asked me for some information I would gladly spread her legs & download my hard drive.

Dung Fingered in Backdoor Probe
Material Found With Dung, Not Properly Wiped
Tom L.,
De-pixelation is sorta kinda possible using some mathematical assumptions… but information that has been lost due to the lower resolution can't be restored accurately… just guessed at… which is sometimes good enough.
In Herbert the Pervert's case, the picture was swirled. The pixels were still there, just rearranged based on a swirl.
To retrieve the picture, "complicated data reconstruction techniques" were used… which was probably just loading it into Photoshop, running the swirl filter, setting the centerpoint, and checking the "swirl counterclockwise" box to unswirl. I tried it and it worked fine.
The lesson here is… be careful which filter you use if you want to obscure your identity after taking pictures of yourself with naked young boys. I usually just cut and paste Leon LaPorte's face over mine which solves the problem.
The interesting thing in the above photo is that they don't want anyone to know who the guy us… but they don't care about the girl so much. Notice the different pixelation resolutions.
I can recover her face enough to be recognized by a stranger… for him, there would be a number of possible outcomes… none of which woulds necessarily look like the real guy… although it might be possible to verify an identity based on shapes and ratios.
Identity is less and less safe in the digital world.
In another 30 years, there will be few secrets.

Tom Langley 5, "deblur" is already current.. But in this instance, the blurring of the woman's face leaves her recognizable. The man's, not so much. It's funny that they're protecting the privacy of an alleged perpetrator.

Chickenhead, Glans, Thanks for the information. I hope GI Korea can deblur the woman's photo.
11:25 am on March 8th, 2011 9
Yes, deblur the woman's photo so that GI's and ESL teachers can masturbate on their computers. You guys, just remember to wipe your keyboards after done.

Tom, you're the only one who spanks monkeys over dung…

Dung Causes Stink in Shanghai, Movement Expected
Glans,
The faces aren't blurred… they are pixelated.
Different thing.
Simply put, blurring disorganizes information while pixelation removes it.

Here's the picture of the woman for you guys so that you guys can pull on your smelly gochus.

She had a Korean hubby. According to this story, she's quite a dangerous fraud. But I never were really into jjankke women, their looks aren't my type and they tend not to bathe often.

Tom #12. If your link shows the same woman she looks better blurred just like beer goggles. I would like to pixelate all over her face.

"South Korean Official Fingered for Illicit Relationship with Dung"

#12,
If anything, those pictures prove some men are just too easy. Really, why are so many South Korean officials falling for the honey trap?
5:05 pm on March 8th, 2011 16
The article left my head swimmin'
with an expression like I'd bitten a lemon.
For what is the claim?
Is "dung" her name?
Or clever objectification of women?
5:46 pm on March 8th, 2011 17
ChickenHead 11, you are correct. In pilelation, the color of each square is the average of the pixels that were in it, and you can't recover the original values from their average. If an image is blurred by moving pixels around, and information isn't lost, it can be deblurred. While there is a concept of depixelation, it's really just a smoothing process.
6:06 pm on March 8th, 2011 18
Not only South Korean officials, but also a Taiwan military general last month fell into the honey trap.

The Chinese name is supposed to be spelled as "Deng" like in Deng Xiaoping, not "Dung". However it is the same pronunciation, so it was probably the error of a Korea Times editor who is unfamiliar with mainland Chinese language.
I like limericks too:

He: Do you want to know about our new weapons system?
She: No.
He: Troop deployment?
She: No.
He: Covert operations in the North?
She: No.
He: What then?
She: I am most interested in emergency contact
information. Who do I call if you have a heart
attack?
Seems like odd information to procure, but probably has something to do with being able to blackmail someone later. It's amazing how anyone in those guys positions could think that anything good was coming out of divulging any kind information. We males of the species are so weak when it comes to that kind of stuff. And so stupid, too. Why not just give her false information? You never hear of women trading state secrets for sex. Maybe it's their anatomical makeup – it's always in their pants.
