Lets say you are an Cuban spy inside the NSA. While you copy memos you notice a watermark with your personal NSA employee ID embedded in the paper.
The NSA might have spies inside the Cuban intelligence services. If you remove the water mark, the NSA will you that you know about their counter intelligence.
If you leave the watermark in they know you are the spy. But, if you change the watermark to some ID from another employee there will be no downside for you. And you start tension within the NSA.
Maybe you can even turn the burned innocent employee, because he will be pissed at the NSA.
Eve is like that.

Reminds me of a story. That one time there was a large battle in eve. If you want to repair / heal a friendly ship in eve you have to target it, and press F1 to start your remote rapair module (healing spell).
In the heat of the battle the pilot Ivory, a healer from Team A, messed up and accidentally targeted the enemy ship his fleet what shooting at the time. He did not notice his mistake and shouted "All reps on Cain!" (Use healing spells on the pilot Cain) Cain was from Team B.
Counter intelligence officers from Team A thought that our healer Ivory was a spy and just pressed the wrong push-to-talk button in TeamSpeak. They sifted through logs and found out his IP, he was from Alberta, CA. Just like the leader from TeamB.
Team A set a trap and killed a expensive ship from Ivory .. and kicked from the Alliance (Guild)
Ivory was not a spy :) Internet spaceships are serious business.
I think a week later Team A apologized, replaced his ship and took him back.
But the accusation was stupid to begin with. He was a loyal member for years, living in the same Canadian state as another eve player is not really uncommon any shouting on TeamSpeak who is currently getting shot would not have been helpful.
