First, Washington Post ran a big article about hackers on Sunday:
Today, WashingtonPost.com had an online chat regarding the article . Check out this comment:
Washington, D.C.: Are you aware that the Post failed to scrub the metadata from the images used in this article, leaving information about your town (starts with "R", ends with "d")? This was picked up by users of the Web site Slashdot over the weekend. Using other clues in the article, they were even able to guess the intersection where you live. Have you been contacted by law enforcement personnel? Do you intend to take action against the Post?
Brian Krebs: As you know we take our obligations with sources very seriously and I don?t want to comment about any speculation about sources.
-Doh, sorry about the repost.
