Information retrieved from My Paper, Sg
Is good to make you aware that
Pictures taken with newer generation cellphones can reveal your exact location through a technology called "geotaging"....
The geohraphical location of where photos were taken, in the form of latitude and longitude coordinates, is encoded. And anyone who has a copy of photos can access this information.
When posted on social-networking sites or blogs, the photos, with the geographical coordinates analysed, can reveal such information as where you live, who you live with, who go out with and your commuting patterns.
It is an intrusion of Privacy....
IPhone users:
Some smartphones, including the iphone, offer the option to disable geotaging of photos. However, not every smart phone owner is aware of the option of activating this privacy setting.
I hope this information retrieved from newspaper able to raise some awareness to my friends who are using smartphones....
How photos can leak your location...
Pass the message on please....
