Fugitive John McAfees location revealed by photo meta-data screw-up

John McAfee has been on the run from the Belize police since mid-November. He has been named as a ‘person of interest’ in a police investigation. But a photo published by Vice Magazine contains geo-tagging data that reveals when and where it was taken. It suggests he was in Guatemala when he crossed the border with Belize. But he claims he faked the EXIF data in the photo to create a fake emergency. The lesson that all of us should learn is to be very careful about what information a photograph might be secretly carrying within it.”]
