THE GLOBAL SURVALLENCE ECONOMY: You Phone Is A Tracking Device And Facebook And Other Social Media Outlets Know About You Than Your Mother PENTAGON: Pentagon Says US Military Personnel Are Reportedly Being Targeted Using Location Data..,. #SMH...As Putin Says How Do You Think I Lost Scores Of Generals In The Ukraine?... AMERICAN DATA BROKERS SELLING USA TROOP LOCATIONS:  U.S. forces deployed to war zones have been targeted using commercially available location data, according to reports fielded by military officials, an illustration of how the global surveillance economy is shaping the battlefield. WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - In a letter shared with Reuters by U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, U.S. Central Command said it had “received multiple threat reports concerning adversary exploitation of commercial location data to target or surveil U.S. personnel in theater." The message, sent on April 14, offered no further specifics, but Centcom's area of responsibility includes the Gulf, where U.S. forces are facing off against the Iranian military over the Strait of Hormuz. The disclosure was the first official confirmation that U.S. forces had been targeted in an active war zone, Wyden and a bipartisan group of legislators said in a letter sent on Thursday to the Pentagon. "Commercial location data can be used to identify where U.S. troops congregate and their pattern of life, which can be exploited by adversaries to target attacks such as missiles, drones, and roadside bombs, as well as for counterintelligence purposes," the letter warned. Wyden said in a statement that it was time to "start treating the adtech industry as a national security threat."  The Pentagon did not return messages seeking comment. The lawmakers said in their letter that their efforts to obtain more information from military officials about the reported targeting had been unsuccessful.  Location data is widely used in digital advertising, which is a key source of revenue for many tech companies. Such data is typically collected from smartphones or other devices by apps or service providers before being sold to data brokers who collate and resell the data, sometimes via complex networks of intermediaries.  msn.com/en-us/news/us/ar-AA2…  FILED UNDER:  #SurveillanceEconomy, #LocationData, #USMilitary, #TroopTracking, #DataBrokers, #AdTechThreat, #NationalSecurity, #PentagonWarning, #CommercialTracking, #PhoneSpying, #RonWyden, #Centcom, #IranThreat, #StraitOfHormuz, #MilitarySurveillance, #DataPrivacy, #AdversaryExploitation, #GlobalSurveillance, #TroopLocations, #SmartphoneTracking, #BigTechSurveillance, #PrivacyVsSecurity, #USForcesTargeted, #LocationTracking, #WarZoneData, #DigitalSurveillance, #DataBrokerScandal, #MilitaryPrivacy, #AdTechRegulation, #SurveillanceCapitalism, #USDefense, #IranConflict, #TroopSafety, #PhoneAsTracker, #FacebookTracking, #SocialMediaSurveillance, #NationalSecurityThreat, #DataExploitation, #MilitaryIntelligence, #CentcomReport, #PrivacyFail, #TrackingDevices, #DefenseDataBreach, #SurveillanceBattlefield, #TechAccountability, #MilitaryTargeting, #LocationDataAbuse, #SurveillanceState

Waze Isn't a Navigation App. It's a Mass Surveillance System. I've worked in cybersecurity for years, and I need to warn you: if you're using Waze, your location data is being sold to data brokers for pennies. This isn't speculation. Here's what you need to know: Fog Reveal - this tool used by US law enforcement costs $7,500/year and provides access to location data from 250 million mobile devices. Data comes from apps like Waze. No warrant required. No knowledge on your part. They collect everything: Complete history of your routes (PERMANENTLY) Home and work addresses Daily movement patterns Where and when you drive Who you meet with (location correlation) Google bought Waze for $1.15 billion in 2013. Since then, it's been a data collection machine. How this works in practice: Every device has an Advertising ID - a unique identifier for ads. Waze uses it. The problem? The same ID is used by dozens of other apps (Starbucks, fitness apps, dating apps). Data brokers buy this information from various sources and merge it. Result? A complete profile of your life: Where you live (device "sleeps" at the same location) Where you work (regular visits during 9-5) Your religious affiliation (visits on Sundays) Mental health status (weekly clinic visits) Affairs (overnight stays at unusual locations) This is called "pattern of life analysis" and it's trivially easy to execute. Real-world cases: Israel, February 2025: Security researcher Amitay Dan proved that Waze reveals precise locations of 100 IDF military bases. Patrol route data updated in real-time. Hezbollah has access to the same maps you do. He called it "the most lethal mass intelligence collection system in Israel." USA, 2020-2021: FBI used Fog Reveal to track participants in the Capitol attack. Geofenced the area and analyzed routes. Zero warrants required. Greensboro PD, North Carolina: Crime analyst Davin Hall resigned in protest after his department used Fog Reveal. He called it "a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment." What about privacy laws? In the USA, the "third-party doctrine" applies - if you voluntarily gave data to a company, it's not protected by the Fourth Amendment. Police can get it without a warrant. In Europe, GDPR theoretically protects us, but Google is a US company. Your data goes to the USA under Privacy Shield 2.0. Enforcement is weak. February 2025: Data Breach A threat actor claimed to be selling 7.6 million Waze records. GPS coordinates, movement patterns, metadata. On darknet forums. Not the first time. Alternatives EXIST You don't have to give up navigation to reclaim privacy: TomTom GO Navigation (€19.99/year) Dutch company, full GDPR compliance 24h auto-delete of identifiers ZERO Advertising ID Business model: selling maps to car manufacturers, not your data "You are not the product" - their motto ISO 27001 certified HERE WeGo (free version available) Owned by Audi/BMW/Mercedes (German jurisdiction) ISO 27001/27701/42001 certified "Never sell personal data" - official Privacy Charter Random IDs instead of permanent tracking Offline maps in free tier OsmAnd (free/premium) 100% open source ZERO telemetry - nothing leaves your device Offline only - no internet required at all Based on OpenStreetMap What you should do TODAY: Delete Waze from your phone Go to myactivity.google.com and delete all Waze history Reset your Advertising ID: iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising → Reset Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Reset Install TomTom, HERE, or OsmAnd Download offline maps via WiFi For organizations: If you manage security in an organization, banning Waze should be in your security policy. Especially for: C-level executives Employees with access to confidential information People involved in M&A negotiations MDM (Mobile Device Management) allows you to block Waze on corporate devices. Use it. Why am I writing this? Because nobody else is. Mainstream media doesn't cover this topic. People don't realize their "free" navigation app is selling their private life for dollars. €20/year for TomTom is less than a Starbucks coffee per week. For that price, you get real privacy, not an illusion. The Columbia Business Law Review analysis: Their legal research concluded that Waze user data likely falls under the third-party doctrine. Law enforcement can obtain it without probable cause. This is current US case law. The Supreme Court's Carpenter v. United States (2018) limited this doctrine for cell tower data, but NOT for apps like Waze where users actively share location for a specific purpose. European advantage: Europe has better alternatives AND better laws. TomTom (Netherlands) and HERE (Germany) are EU-based companies with: GDPR-first design (compliant BEFORE GDPR existed) No ad-based business model ISO certifications for privacy Strong data minimization Short retention periods Yet Waze dominates globally. Not because of better technology (it isn't), but because of: Network effects (crowd-sourcing) Google's marketing power "Free" beats "paid" in consumer psychology Lack of awareness about privacy trade-offs This can change. It requires collective action. Bottom line: Waze is free because YOU are the product. TomTom/HERE charge money because TECHNOLOGY is the product. It's not rocket science. It's business. Choose wisely. Your move. #Waze #Privacy #OSINT #Cybersecurity #GDPR #DataPrivacy #TomTom #HERE #Surveillance #DataBrokers #FogReveal #LocationTracking #InfoSec #CyberSec #DigitalPrivacy #SecurityAwareness #FourthAmendment #PrivacyMatters
