Sanitize your images

[Guest071313-5]

Members, just a little bit of security advice, sanitize your images before you post them. Digital pics contain a lot of information you may not want others to have access to. Get rid of the metadata associated with your images. If you don't know how to or even WTF i am talking about, PM me or ask someone that knows how too.

Just trynna keep us all safe and secure!

Thanks, B

EXIF data to the rescue! Wait, that's what we're trying to keep out of the pics. :-) Nothing quite like someone taking a cell phone pic only to have it geo-tagged with their lat&long.

If you have Windows 7 use snip it and take a.screen shot of the picture. Save it and post the screen shot one.

If you are taking pictures from your cell phone, the setting is usually associated with the GPS location being turned on.

The setting is "ON" by default in most all cell phones.

I use photobucket to upload my pictures to the web. There is an option in the settings to automatically scrub all data from photos while uploading.

I try not to take photos with a cell phone. Your computer doesn't imprint that kind of data on your pics, does it?

Hi Tia,
It is the software used on a computer that will allow for the adding of information.
The average program does not allow for adding EXIF data.

I tried a few where you have an account unsuccessfully. So I just use tinypic.com. I will just upload the pic I want to post and it works great for me.

I believe the newer digital cameras have geo tagging and I turned mine off in the settings of my camera.

Normally no. But what the pic was taken with certainly will. So when you transfer it to the computer, all digital data remains unless you clean the photo. My recommendation would be to have a folder labeled "cleaned" on your computer, and only upload from that folder. Use a photo hosting website, such as photobucket mentioned above, when uploading to there, remove data from pictures using there software as well and only upload your photos to a folder in the photo hosting site that is set to private. Another good reason to upload to a photo hosting site is the ability to remove the photo yourself, canceling out everywhere you linked that photo to. If you where to upload from your computer to a website directly, your picture becomes their property, you can't remove your picture from their site without the webmasters help. That's a good foundation for the ladies that may want to "erase" as many photos as they can when they retire, just delete it in the photo hosting site and the links are broken. So your left with this below:

Just a quick note that pretty much all digital cameras imprint EXIF data. This can include exposure and lens data (generally innocuous) but can include date taken (sometimes even time of day) GPS as well as in some cases even the camera's serial number. A pro photographer might store even more info in the file, for example the customer's real name, copyright data, etc. Some of this data can even be tracked across the web. Now generally that probably doesn't mean much, most folks don't even realize it, but I can see where some people might exploit it, for example a cyber stalker. Again, I believe that the risk is low however for total anonymity (or as total as you can get) I would recommend removing the EXIF (or metadata) from every image you use. If you use a service like Photo Bucket or Flickr to host your images make sure that you set all albums to "private". Also bear in mind if you have an i-phone photos you take can be stored in the i-cloud. Many stores automatically set this up when you buy an i-phone. Again the risk is low but if you peek around image sites on the net you will find photos that were hacked (ask Scarlett Johannson and Vanessa Hudgens about that.) I have seen photos from girls here (on Eccie) that now appear on amateur photo sites. I will admit that its pretty funny when some loser claims "this is my wife" or "my girlfriend."

use dban to do the 'complete' rewriting job if you really care about your privacy.

Don't use flash storage for digital cameras. I don't think it is possible not to use, but do some research why flash memory is UN-deleteable.
