The system is disclosed for visual marking sensitive documents for leak prevention. Each time an action is taken with regard to a document (e.g., creation, viewing, downloading), that action is added to a distributed ledger, essentially creating a unique hash for a new instance of the document. This new hash is visually embedded in the document as a code comprising a plurality of differently shaded pixels, wherein some of the pixels directly encode information regarding the document (e.g., an account that generated the new instance of the document, a date, a time, a unique ID for the document, etc.) and some of the pixels do not encode information. The code is capable of being scanned either digitally or physically on a printed version of the document, such that the immediate source of the document, corresponding to who leaked the document, is able to be discerned.
