I'm sure a lot of you out there are aware of this, but for those who haven't thought of it...
Don't forget that if you use your phone to take a picture and show off your new miner, or of a rig that you're posting for sale, the photo may have embedded geolocation data that tells everyone exactly where it was taken... Thus enabling miscreants to come take your stuff.

Don't have a link. Just read about the Avalon burglary and it was something I'd been thinking about. I'm sure there are photos out there that prove my point, but it doesn't make any sense to expose anyone here.

imgur striped EXIF data. Very useful for posting semi-anonymous pictures.

Is that standard, or a feature? |

To my knowledge, it is enabled by default in iOS devices; I'm not sure about Android.
Depending on the app that is used to send a photo, it may be stripped of EXIF data, or it may not be.
Some point-and-shoot cameras are also GPS enabled and will embed geolocation data.

+1 A while back I was browsing pictures of people's rigs on this forum and some pictures have exactly what you are talking about. I believe most of those pictures with the geo data on EXIF were taken by iPhones. At the time, I was curious to see how a BFL FPGA was running at a certain fast firmware given that the person lived in a rather hot and humid place. I can easily see how a criminal can exploit this type of information to zero in on a device to steal it. |

I suppose a crude way of striping EXIF would be to take a screen shot (ALT-PrintScreen) of the image, paste it into MSPaint, crop it and save it again. (I did say crude, but if you're in a hurry...)

This is most secure way Or just open image in Paint, save as BMP (it does not allows to include EXIF data in file), open bmp, save it as JPG |

I was looking under each app before... This is correct, right? |

I think there is more to that story personally. The guy put his entire life online. Sold a Porsche for BTC300 Appeared in loads of mainstream press and boasted a lot about his Bitcoin wealth. Is easily found on Twitter and other social networks. Has made no effort to hide himself or his whereabouts online, including address. I know it's not cool, but he practically invited it... There was a post in a previous thread, he has started more than one of these bounty threads and another forum member, replied 'is that you?'... And just threw up everything about the guy, his name, address, family details, sh*t loads of press, interviews, articles in this forum where he's been gloating. He was the epitome of how to get robbed. |
