Anyone ever notice that if you take a photo with your cell phone, the photo is geotagged with information. These geotagging can pinpoint where you snapped the photo, time of day, etc.
Nifty feature, right ? But it is all about tracking users, tracking your every location and what you are doing (is Big Brother really watching now ?)
Well there is an article recently posted that states that an Elite Hacker from one of the off-shoots of Anonymous teased Law Officials with more information than they should have. They sent or posted photos in the attempt to tease the Law that they could not find them. (nyah nyah, you can't find me). But the images posted contained GPS coordinates and other information associated with Geotagging of photos. Did the Hacker screw up ? Big time.
Take the time to read this article , it IS hilarious in the long run.
This is a prime example of stupidity of the smartest of us. No matter how smart they are, eventually they will do something dumb that will get them caught. I don;t care who the person is, historically the more you are wanted, eventually something stupid will trip you up. So sometimes, I guess it pays to stay stupid and not be elite ?
Having accomplished various investigations into "Cyber Happenings", the devil IS in the details and its usually something everyone often overlooks. Something we take for granted or worse, something stupid that exposes what was going on. Its that piece of the puzzle that is staring you right in the eyes. Some may say "you are looking too deeply" or "you are looking to make something out of something that is just not there". It's always there. How smart are you to catch the smallest of details or something staring you right between the eyes?
Enjoy.
