BUSTED
The evidence that the Federal Bureau of Investigations gathered against an alleged Galveston hacker didn’t come from a techno-chase through the expansive Internet. Instead, the FBI used the information embedded in a photograph of his girlfriend’s breasts.
Higinio O. Ochoa, 30, is a Linux administrator by day, but by night he’s accused of being part of the group “CabinCr3w,” an affiliate of the hacktivist organization Anonymous.
According to Gizmodo, Ochoa allegedly used the Twitter handle @Anonw0rmer to link to a site boasting personal information on law enforcement officials, along with a picture of a young women in a low-cut shirt that read, “PwNd by w0rmer & CabinCr3w.”
The FBI found the image in February and checked the exchangeable image file format, or EXIF data, for evidence. EXIF data is information that a digital camera imprints onto an image.

The girlfriend should send him a similar picture while he’s in prison with the words on the poster telling him to “hang in there”.

That must be his sister. No way does a Linux Administrator have a girlfriend like that – or any at all.

You’d be surprised what lurks in photos these days.
Now, when taking a picture you will hear the line, “move over here honey, it is better Latitude and Longitude”.
