Security Software Creator Found by Authorities from Photo GPS Coordinates

John McAfee was in for a surprise when he chose to boast his freedom from chasing authorities via a popular blog reporter.  Not only was the photo of terrible quality and with an object blocking part of the scene, but also the unassuming reporter posted a photo which included the exact GPS location of McAfee, and within a short time he was in custody. To view the GPS metadata, save the photo to your iPhone or iPad, and open the photo from within the Photo Investigator app.
