Just a quick heads up for those with a smart phone.
A mate just bought an Iphone and I was filling him in at work today about all the features etc.
I was showing how taking a photo records the GPS co-ordinates of where the photo was taken, and then you can view where the photos were taken on a map of Australia or even the world etc.
It was then I noticed that a couple of photos in my album are ones I have been sent from people through internet forums who have messaged me photos of parts etc to my phone, and other photos are ones I have ‘saved’ from internet forums that other people have posted (possibly using their smart phone). I was able to zoom in to the exact location that these photos were taken and get the address.
If you were a scoundrelous dirt bag, you could use this information along with info someone might post on a forum about “going on holidays” etc to get up to no good.
More filthier minds could even use this info for worse scenarios, but I won't go there.
This may be an issue that could be rectified in the future, or it could be the future.
You have been warned.
