Nikon considers the "Beatles" photo in Babruisk genuine (photo)
A picture of the "Beatles" in the background of the road sign "Babruisk" has been considered genuine by Nikon's system of photo verification.
In the picture, all the four legendary musicians are purposefully heading for Babruisk. The fake picture was made by the company ElcomSoft in order to test Nikon's program for photo verification "Image Authentication Software".
According to ElcomSoft, Nikon's claim about this program being reliable is "cheating". The company stole an original signature key from a Nikon's camera (the system's flaws make this possible) and prepared several fake photos. They passed the checking of the program "Image Authentication Software" successfully, as they had been signed by the stolen key.
Thus, Dmitri Medvedev with a bitten apple instead of an I-phone in his hand, "Beatles" in Babruisk and Marylin Monroe weating cute flowered underwear were considered genuine.
