Oops

The guy who tells his story in anonymous article in The Washington Post will be sorry he did so. The staff of the paper made the guy irrecognizable the pictures, but apparently there was still lots of metadata to be found. Slashdot readers found out pretty quickly: he lives in a little place with 3,000 inhabitants, is a 21-year old computer hacker, living close to a strip joint and a used car garage. Oops.

    Best Dutch string of words I’ve seen in a while:

    “een 21-jarige computerfreak die dicht bij een stripzaak en een tweedehandsgarage woont”

    I particularly like their use of the terms ‘computerfreak’ and ‘stripzaak’. High journalistic standards indeed.
