Zenedge Blog Fitness Trackers: Who is watching?

Over the weekend, a story broke that military personnel may have unwittingly revealed sensitive geographical information through using the Strava fitness tracker. This particular device allows users to record activity statistics for walking, running, and biking through either their smartphone or a wearable. The information can then be uploaded to the Internet and displayed as a map showing their workout route. Not only did this information expose the global location of bases and spy posts, but also the layout of these sites based on the movement patterns.
