On-the-run software designer John McAfee seems to have made a mistake in trusting a pair of journalists from VICE magazine with his whereabouts: The risqu矇 online publication published a photo of the fugitive earlier today with the headline, “.” But it seems they failed to wipe the photo’s GPS data, which a noticed pinpoints him at a location in eastern Guatemala.

UPDATE: The VICE photographer and McAfee have each come forward on social media to take credit for deliberately manipulating the geotags to keep their location secret. ButVICE has also deleted the original photo and replaced it with one without GPS data….
