Activity overview

Photographs store lots of information, including what camera you used, brand, and model. This is called metadata.

The GPS location of where the photo was taken is also stored in this metadata. These coordinates can be used to show you exactly on the map where those images were taken.

Using the metadata from 10 photographs, you will use the GPS coordinates to pin the locations on the map, enabling you to discover the hidden locations of the cyber criminals.
