Re: Hacking Pictures?

[Robert Barrow <robert.barrow () cat org uk>]

Hi. Most modern smart phones include geoloc data with pictures taken. 
You get access to fairly precise co-ordinates for the location the 
picture was taken. Which, with both the explosion in media rich social 
networking and the easy access to the hardware that records such 
information by default, you have a nightmare security situation. Add to 
this the ease with which you can leverage such information via mash ups 
and readily available public tools and the assumed threat is no longer 
just virtual but can extend into the home lives of individuals.
