Washington Post Accidently Reveals Location of "Hacker"
Submitted by Josh on Mon, 2006-02-20 11:51.
The Fishbowl has an interesting article on a recent Washington Post screw up that may have allowed an anonymous source to be identified. The problem revolves around metadata attached to a photograph used in the article. Apparently, the photographer who took the photograph or someone at the post entered tracking information that included the small town the individual may live in. Essentially, they accidentally exposed that information to the world via the picture itself.
Quick read and definitely worth checking out.
