tl;dr Fitness trackers on us military personnel, CIA, and similar operatives have left trails on the world map where they run. Sometimes, these is in locations that the military would not want disclosed.
OPSEC (Operational Security) should have included training personnel that fitness trackers are not to be worn when on location in secured areas, or some other solution that meets the same goal.
- sitkack 9y agoPeople under clearance should only use government supplied devices and software. This is a really embarrassing mistake, it shows a pretty poor lack of security culture. It puts installations and people at risk. I can think of many other scenarios that I will not enumerate, Strava should have absolutely not released this. And if they were to release it, they should have consulted some data privacy experts in how to better scrub the data.
