In May 2015 , the citizen journalism team Bellingcat wrote that error level analysis revealed that the Russian Ministry of Defense had edited satellite images related to the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 disaster . In a reaction to this , image forensics expert Jens Kriese said about error level analysis : " The method is subjective and not based entirely on science " , and that it is " a method used by hobbyists " . On his Hacker Factor Blog , the inventor of error level analysis Neal Krawetz criticized both Bellingcat 's use of error level analysis as " misinterpreting the results " but also on several points Jens Kriese 's " ignorance " regarding error level analysis
