8. […] procurement data and procedures concentrated in only
one website, they established limitations of its search
capabilities and used "word distortion techniques".
We found about 10 tricks to hide the data:
• Cyrillic chars instead Latin chars looking like the same
• Cyrillic chars instead Latin chars for products with Latin
name, like "Hyundai" or "Microsoft"
• unreasonable use of "-" inside words –e.g., The ten-der
to bu-y mi-lk.
• large amount of mistakes –up to 10 mistakes per
sentence…
