  • Rotation of an image is stored in the exif data.
    When you take an image with your phone in a non upright position the phone will rotate the picture to look like you expect it and write into the exif data.
    But the image itself will still be the way it was taken, meaning the data of the image itself is unaltered.

    Usually when you send the picture or upload it software will read the exif data and display the image accordingly (rotated). But some sites or some software will ignore or strip the exif data and display the image how it originally looks (non-rotated).

    For example some keys are bought from publishers or devs with stolen credit cards to sell on those sites and then the owner of the credit cards will request a charge back one he notices the charges.
    Now the dev or publisher has no money for the key, has a fee for the payment and or the charge back and the key is still getting sold on those sites.
    Humble bundle once lost about 35k that way for example.

    The key resellers should have security implemented to prevent such stolen keys from being sold but they don’t, enabling those scammers.
