Talking EXIF Tag Remover

I found the tool I was looking for and wanted to share;

Exif Tag Remover - Freeware metadata delete utility
(freeware)

EXIF is the portion of your picture where sensitive information is stored that can track you down. Besides privacy benefits, it saves around 6k of picture size. And the tool works without sacrificing picture quality.

If you want to know a little bit more about why using this tool is a MUST, read this article:
Hidden Data in JPEG Files

(for example of how a celebrity was found naked in a pic that was cropped because of pic thumbnail embedded in metatag!)

Earlier on I was able to link 2 EB accounts I was suspecting
he was the same guy. Very thorough this seller, however the piccies gave him in (camera model, shooting parameters, time&date pictures taken).

I am not saying ebay runs this kind of searches -which is unlikely to happen-, but I think it is realistic that it could be a final step to link you if they already have other things on your accounts.
