4Chan Strikes Again: BK Worker Fired Over Pic He Posted

[Damn Right]

Ever feel like nothing is secret any more because of the Internet? You may be right. It took 4Chan users only 15 minutes to track down and bust the Cleveland-area Burger King employee who stood on top of two containers of shredded lettuce and then posted a picture of the gross act. 4Chan is a bulletin board-type website where members post images and comments.

"This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King," wrote the unnamed employee on the evening of July 16. Guess he thought that was funny. Other users weren't laughing: according to Hypervocal.com, Anonymous, the notorious vigilante hacking group, used GPS data embedded in the photo to locate the fast food restaurant's address and reportedly contacted the franchise and FoxNews8. "Whoever this is is getting fired," a morning shift manager named Andrea, told the Cleveland Scene.

Bryson W. Thornton, Director of Burger King's Global Communications, wrote in a statement to Yahoo! Shine:

"Burger King Corp. has recently been made aware of a photo that shows a BURGER KING® restaurant employee violating the company's stringent food handling procedures. Food safety is a top priority at all BURGER KING® restaurants and the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy against any violations such as the one in question. The restaurant where this photo was taken is independently-owned and operated by a BURGER KING® franchisee. The franchisee has taken swift action to investigate this matter and terminated the three employees involved in the incident.

Word?

 

[tonescrilla]

Those geeks ock'ed his ass in 15 min can't fuck with those dudes

 

[da_monumental_1]

Cell phones are the debil.

Word?

Yes. Depending on whether the device inputs EXIF data. Example: http://regex.info/exif.cgi/exif.cgi?dummy=on&imgurl=http://i47.tinypic.com/2rqg5tg.jpg

Word?

Ya that shit caught me off guard too...

 

["THE MAN"]

That BK was like a ghost town as is thanks to the McDonald's right next to it. Might as well shut it down now.

 

[Grand Verbalizer!!!]

Good!!!

 

[Deezz]

Don't fuck w/ 4Chan.

I just recently heard about GPS info in photos. Shit is crazy.

I'm about to get me one of those Ol' school Don Johnson Miami Vice phones to stay off the grid.

Yeah man gotta take those Geotags and coordinates off if you ever post a cell pic here

 

[Ceenote]

used GPS data embedded in the photo to locate the fast food restaurant's address

Wow...damn they let a cat out of the bag...

(snatched from another site for anybody that wanna disable )

To disable the geotagging feature of your camera (on the iPhone open Settings and go to “General->Location Services” and turn the Camera toggle off) so that no more GPS data will be tagged on the pics.

Removing GPS Data (Geotags) From Pictures

I’m going to show you the FREE way, but keep in mind if this scares you (we’re going to use the command line), then there are other options out there (but I don’t have time to find them for you, sorry… the command line / terminal isn’t that scary, really)…

Step 1: Install Jhead

Get Jhead and install it on your computer. It is available for Linux, Mac, Windows and even FreeBSD.

If you are using Ubuntu you can get it straight from the repositories using this command:
sudo apt-get install jhead

Otherwise you will need to see the “releases” section on the main page: http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/

Installation Help
(Note: if you installed it from the repos on Ubuntu, you can skip to the next step)

This is a command line program, there is no GUI (no point-click, no pretty pictures or icons, etc.), so you need to make it easy to access and use.

Mac OS X
If it goes anything like my download did, it might have a “.txt” extension on the end, and it will be in your Downloads folder. Do whatever you like, but I moved mine to a folder I use for command line utilities like this: /Applications/Utilities/NoGUI/ is my directory of choice. Assuming your situation is like mine, here are the commands to make the file executable, rename it, and move it to that destination:
//Open Terminal, defaults to your Home (user directory)
chmod +x Downloads/jhead.txt && mv Downloads/jhead.txt /Applications/Utilities/NoGUI/jhead

note: if you get an error about there being no such directory, then it’s because you don’t have a NoGUI folder yet, so make one like this:
mkdir /Applications/Utilities/NoGUI/

now it’s not going to be much fun typing out: /Applications/Utilities/NoGUI/jhead every time you want to run the command… so let’s make an alias to simplify things. I’m going to assume you don’t have an alias for your text editor of choice yet, and I’m also going to assume you don’t care for command line / terminal editors like Vi, Vim, Nano, or Emacs, so we’ll do it the ugly way once, then we’ll go ahead and create a alias to the TextEdit as well to make this easier for you in the future.

In your terminal… you should still be at your Home (user)… run the following to backup your bash profile and open the profile (not the backup) in TextEdit:
cp .profile .profile.backup
/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit .profile

Now, go to the bottom of the file and on a new line enter the following lines:
alias supertext='sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit'
alias textedit='/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit'
alias jhead='/Applications/Utilities/NoGUI/jhead'

Now Save and Quit. You should now be back at the terminal. Now Quit Terminal and then Open it again. When it reopens you the new aliases should have loaded. To be sure type: alias and if it worked you will see all available aliases listed in the output. Now you can skip to Step 2.

Windows
I haven’t tested this on Windows, but there is an executable listed on the page so download it and put it in the root directory of your C: drive. If you want to set up an “alias” for it on Windows, you could try making an environment variable/path for it using the info found here. But for the rest of this guide, I’m just going to assume you put “jhead.exe” in “C:\” so for all of the commands below you will navigate to the directory where your photos are and then will run “C:\jhead.exe ” followed by the rest of the command, the path to the image will stay relative to your current directory.

Linux (other than Ubuntu)
I’ll update this later if I have time… but for now I’ll just have to assume you know how to install things on your own distribution or at least know how to look it up. Sorry.
Step 2: Remove/Modify EXIF Data From Pics

Locate the files you want to modify and then navigate there in your terminal or command prompt. (use Terminal in Linux or Mac, and use Command Prompt — cmd.exe — in Windows).

Once you have changed directory (cd in case you forgot how and you can use ls in Linux/Mac or DIR in Windows to list the files in that directory if you want) and then test the Jhead installation and alias by testing on a photo:
jhead somePhoto.jpg

If it works you will see some output like this:

File name : somePhoto.jpg
File size : 244792 bytes
File date : 2010:06:23 03:12:16
Camera make : Apple
Camera model : iPhone
Date/Time : 2009:11:13 09:30:18
Resolution : 1200 x 1600
Aperture : f/2.8
GPS Latitude : N 00d 00.00m 0s
GPS Longitude: W 00d 00.00m 0s
======= IPTC data: =======
City : G
Record vers. : 2
Object Name : IMG_0004

Now, obviously I changed the GPS data for this example… But it’s definitely there… for now!

Please note: All of the following commands are for BATCH processing (doing multiple files at once). You may need to change the extension from “.jpg” to “.JPG” depending on your operating system and the way your files are named. As far as I know Jhead only works with jpg/JPG/jpeg/JPEG files.
If you only want to process one image at a time, just substitute the file name of that image for the “*.jpg”

Here’s the code to remove the stuff we don’t want/need

To remove the EXIF/GPS data (but keep basic info like pic size and date/time) use this:
//for Mac or Linux
jhead -mkexif *.jpg
//for Windows:
C:\jhead.exe -mkexif *.jpg

To remove do the same as above AND add your own comment use this:
jhead -mkexif -cl 'Your Comment Goes Here - and Keep the Single Quotes!' *.jpg
//for Windows:
C:\jhead.exe -mkexif -cl 'Your Comment Goes Here - and Keep the Single Quotes!' *.jpg

If you want to remove EVERYTHING you can and leave just the bare-minimum to display the image, use the following:
//for Mac or Linux
jhead -purejpg *.jpg
//for Windows
C:\jhead.exe -purejpg *.jpg

If you are interested in other options to use with Jhead, see the full list here: http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/usage.html

Dumb nasty fuck doesn't understand how deep technology today goes to track people. Glad he got fired, but he should've also gone to jail or be fined. How many children at that nasty lettuce?

4Chan...don't fuck with them. They might seem fucked up, but they live by their own codes of justice.

 

[sammyjax]

so camera settings > gps tagging = off isn't enough?

 

[comment101]

Yah, even when you turn it off, the phone still embeds some type of vague location info in the photo, it's fucking annoying, especially the iPhone.

NO!

How to get GPS location info from photos...

Almost all smartphone cameras geotag the photos they take. As a matter of fact, I would be very surprised if I found a smartphone that doesn’t do this. It would have to be a pretty old model. Note: If your have an iPhone or an Android phone, you need to give the camera app access to the GPS data, so it can store it with your photo.

Where is the GPS information stored?

You may or may not know this, but your camera stores a bunch of data about every picture you take. It records the aperture, shutter speed, ISO speed, camera mode, focal distance, and sometimes even more than that. All of this is stored in the EXIF data, an extra piece of information attached to every picture file your camera creates.

EXIF data has been around since the early days of digital photography. Back then, it didn’t really tell you much about the photo you just took, but now it will tell you nearly everything. Other kinds of files have EXIF data. You can access EXIF data in audio and video files as well.

How can I access my GPS information?

There are several ways, and some of them are more useful and prettier than others. It all depends on the computer you’re using. Here are a few ways to get the GPS information from your photos.

On a Mac

If you’re using a Mac, you can access your GPS information by simply right clicking on the photo file you want to view and then picking “get info.”

This will bring up a box showing all of the EXIF data attached to that particular image file.

On a PC

It’s a little different on a PC, but it’s pretty much the same thing. Right click on your image, and then pick “properties.” From there, a similar window should pop up showing all the EXIF data, including the location of the picture you just took.

Now you see how and why so many of those desperate for pussy simps were stalking bitches who post their homegrown pics from smartphones.

 

[AgentCreed]

on an ipad if u go into album if u see where a pic was taken too... ppl forget some apps have gps on by default and think just telling fb or twitter not to use location will stop it. u have to go into whatever app u use even the camera app itself and turn off pic location.

 

[duppy_maka]

@the ass-clown that didn't have the common sense to turn off "store location" on the camera app of his phone.

This is quicker for you Windows users.

[Rythm]

I think most photographers know this. Anyway,supposedly some sites like Facebook,Flickr, etc.remove the EXIF tags when you upload… (check the site policy)or have an option in account settings.
If you want to learn how to remove Geotags from stuff you've already uploaded, do a search on "jhead" or sentex.net. More of a learning curve for mac and linux..learning how to remove g/t can be a good side hustle though hint hint

the average person can't figure out how to use embedded pic info to find out where someone lives though.

cause if they did, their would be a whole lot of dudes showin up at this girl's house

It should be a option when you go in your camera to take off the photos' location ...

Glad I commented on this, in my circle Im probably on the high end of technology. I had no idea you could do this. About to learn how to take this off my pics lol.

 

[SNYC]

Damn...shhhh

This should be familiar to anyone in photography or does editing/tagging files

This is how freaky_1 was got. He uploaded a track of his wife but had some 'google-able' info tagged on that mp3

...ok, back to the batcave

Okay I used Ubuntu software center and got Phatch Photo instead of trying to install the other one.

 

[MissMighty]

Err you can choose to embed gps info into your pictures...nothing new

 

[kinglickk]

4Chan ain't all evil.
fuck an iphone
I'm still using a digital camera for pics.
dude should catch some charges.
