Report: Unknown agents used fitness app loophole to track Israeli troops on bases
2022-06-23
[IsraelTimes] It is unclear who was behind hack of Strava app, which revealed info despite privacy settings; one individual tracked to site linked to Israel’s nuke program

A loophole in a popular fitness app was recently exploited by unknown individuals to track members of Israeli security forces as they moved around the country’s military bases and even traveled abroad, an online investigation group revealed Tuesday.

According to the investigation, the unknown individuals used a GPS-based feature in the Strava app to create shareable running routes at Israeli army bases and security sites. When these were then utilized by security personnel for exercise, the app exposed their private location-tracking information to the route’s creator, even if they had their security settings at the highest level.
