Cell Phone Pics
    #10469164 - 06/08/09 01:49 AM (14 years, 11 months ago)

Just a thought I was having while playing with my cell phone today. Could uploading pics to the internet originally taken from a cell phone be traced to a phone number or to phone company records? For instance I do occasional grow a few mushrooms now and again but I take great care in my grow diaries to edit out as much traceable stuff to me as possible. However, I do upload pics I took from my cell phone for advice or guidance from members in the know. I opened a couple of cell phone pics in a text editor to see if I could find something obvious like my phone number or any series of numbers correlating to my phone in the coding for the pics but couldn't find anything. So I'm asking members in the know here for their opinions on this. Maybe I'm  :tinfoil: but I'd rather ask a dumb question than make a dumb mistake.

Thanks

When you transfer pictures from your phone to your PC (by a USB cable or bluetooth) the make and model of your cell might be sent over along with the picture itself.

This can be pretty far reaching, ever upload a picture onto deviantart?

"Picture
Make: Canon
Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark III
Shutter Speed: 1/16 second
F Number: F/2.8
Focal Length: 100 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Date Picture Taken: Jun 1, 2009, 12:00:03 PM"

All of that gets uploaded automatically, and it is available to anybody who views the picture in it's original file format.
A lot of info *can* stay attached to a picture. However, if you go through a computer, you can go to the properties of the file, and erase identifying information in the "details" tab.

Now, if the cops want it badly, your possession of (using the above as an example) a Canon EOS-1D MIII, and the presence on your computer of pictures of illegal activities taken with such a camera may very well be used as circumstantial evidence in court.

Take a look at the details tab of your cameraphone pictures, does it say what make of cellphone took the picture? If so, sanitise those pics!

Why risk it?  Use a normal digital camera and cut out the cell phone step.  Also it helps to load the image into an image editor and save it to remove the EXIF data.  Shroomery strips EXIF data.

YES! DEFINITELY!

DO NOT SEND PICTURES FROM YOUR PHONE TO THE WEB.

I guess I shouldn't sound that urgent about it.. but everyone should make this a strict practice. I was in one of the few server rooms around the country that processes/routes the image data for companies like Verizon, et al.

Each and every data packet is stored in their system for a minimum period of 1 year. In other words, all the pictures you send are cached in some gigantic climate controlled server room as they are routed around the network.

Exif data was removed from shroomery uploads after I asked Ythan to, it was a few months ago. So shroomery uploads are safer than deviant art in terms of exif data now.
