Metadata strike again!
Brian Krebs wrote about a botnet and the 733t d00d who ran one, nom de hack 0x80. Well, turns out the doctored on-line photo the Washington Post ran contained metadata identifying the gentleman’s rather small home town. Coupled with information in Krebs’ article concerning businesses near 0x80’s residence, identifying the young criminal would seem a foregone conclusion.
The Inquirer reports further.
