You just made one more mistake....very big.

Cell phone pics.....Never, EVER, post Pics from a cell phone.... Why?

Because they contain "Exif" data which tells you almost everything about the camera. (type, settings, brand, etc...)

But they can also contain GPS info, depending upon what type of phone camera.

I ran your pictures through an exif program, and was able to pinpoint your exact location when these were taken.

You live in an Apartment building right on the freeway in LA.



Please...Dont ever post pictures taken from cell phones guys...we dont need anyone getting busted.

There is a geotagging function on some new digital cameras. Make sure yours doesn't have this feature.

i highly doubt it its not a nikon or anything and it was last years model (thus the price) but for me its cool takes great quality pics

do you guys also use proxies. if someone wanted to find you enough, all they would have to do is dig up your IP address.

 

[sk'mo]

Can proxy sites be trusted? I've looked them up, but don't understand them enough to trust using them.

Thanks again, great info!!

i ended up w/ a virus real quick just researching proxy's, and i'm real careful about not downloading crap and have protection software...i swear theres junk still on my computer from that...just my experience though

kool .. I dont know how those things work so i cant really comment, but i know how easy this exif data works ,and i have checked many pics out with it myself.Its just a simple step you can take and if you really want you can go down other lines of security..

Me either..

Thanks rupert ..Didnt know blackberry encrypts like that.. I thought blackberry would be one of the worst offenders, nearly eveyone i know has one except me.

I rarely download off sites , had to many virus in the past just like you my p.c's still moving slow..
