Every picture and video you post spills secrets about you, maybe even revealing where you live. The process of connecting all these dots of our online activities is a practice known as Open Source Intelligence, or OSINT. It's the practice of using all the information available online such as public records, reviews we write, email addresses, usernames, location check ins, and social media, to link together the breadcrumbs of someone's digital life.

Jose Monkey has 1.7 million TikTok followers, and shows us how he finds people's exact location just by using OSINT on their videos. We teach you best practices for posting photos and videos online, and how to make sure that you're not giving away more information than you intend.

The XF image data inside photo images can be convenient for us when we store them in our hard drives and we want to find the photo but it is definitely a real concern.

As well as the potential publication of our home snail mail address.
