According to foreign media reports, the location data provided in the fitness application can bring many useful functions to help you remember and optimize the movement route. But at the same time, the data also brought an unexpected security risk: the details of the secret military base were exposed.
UCA analyst Nathan Ruser found that the fitness map used by the fitness application Strava includes sports and training routes for soldiers and agents in certain sensitive locations, such as US military bases in Afghanistan and Syria.
Other such sensitive locations include the Falkland Islands Air Force Base in the United Kingdom, the secret base of the CIA in Somalia, and even the US 51 district. In addition to the United States and the United Kingdom, Strava's data also includes information about Russia.
Although most of these locations are public, the data may still reveal information that the government does not want to know, such as where the living quarters in the base are, and which of the busiest roads in the base. In Afghanistan, the movement data is not limited to the inside of the base, which may reveal the patrol or supply route of the soldiers.
Strava reminds users that location sharing can be turned off, and private activity information and location information that is considered private are not included in the map. However, many people are not sure what information this app will share and what the consequences of publicly sharing information from these sensitive locations.
Of course, not all fitness apps offer open sports maps that make it easier for people to search. However, it is doubtful that Strava considers all the possibilities ahead of time. This reminds us once again that public data sometimes includes content that has serious consequences. At the same time, this may lead to restrictions on the use of smartphones by the military or the importance of educating soldiers to keep them secret.
