Re: Hacking Pictures?

What he is probably referring to is the fact that all (most) cameras
store meta date in every image, and if your camera phone has GPS, one of
the things the camera can store is location. It is an easy task to read
this meta date, any imaging program like photoshop, gimp can do this.

We had a (sort of) scandal some years ago, where a newspaper in their
on-line version had uploaded all the topless model pictures with full
meta date and among this meta data you could read the private addresses
of all the girls on the pictures. A stalkers paradise.

I was speaking to someone from DHS (not a tech) and he was telling me
that there are applications that can "look" at a picture taken from a
cell phone and can get the location of where the picture was taken.  Is
this true?  If so, can someone provide more information?  If this can be
done, people posting pictures from their cell phones to social sites
should be aware of this...

Thanks - Steven
