This question already has an answer here:
As a guy working in security/pentest, I regularly take screenshots of exposed passwords/sensitive information. Whenever I report these, I mask parts or complete info as in the sample given below

I often wonder, is it possible for someone to ‘reverse engineer’ these pics and recover the original information? If so, what should be the correct way of masking such kind of info?
I am using shutter for taking screenshots and using accompanied edit tool to add the black stroke.
EDIT:
As pointed out by some of you, my question is different from this since:
- I am not asking about MS paint/black strokes. The image is just an
example to better explain the question
- I have clearly asked for the correct/most secure way of producing
photographic evidence.
