@neurovagrant somebody better warn the War Thunder forum moderators. Those players don't like to be one-upped.
Mulbox@neurovagrant is that even considered OSINT?
@mulbox Whatever works, right?
Ellie Kennard@neurovagrant
Um. Shouldn't he have location data hidden completely?
Or did he have it hidden and it leaked it?
Either user error or leak. Which, I wonder?
Maybe only allow followers to view your activity, too? Instead of everyone. Just a thought. Or was it I leaked anyway?
Would be good to know.

Eric BonoIt says he had it set to public. He blew it.
@EricBono @neurovagrant
Tldr but yes, thought so.
Those apps should be banned in those situations I guess.
We just can't have nice things.

Yeah, you'd think a military force would put effort into educating their people and avoiding something like this. Strava is not exactly carrying a decent reputation on this stuff. I'd like to move away from it but honestly gaun from my small amount of social connections there.
@EricBono @neurovagrant me too! And encouragement.
But no one cares where I ride or walk. So I'm relatively safe

Yeah, I didn't expect the encouragement, sometimes from legends, to be so great. It's a lot of mental hurdles though so cheering each other on is really powerful honestly.
trainguyrom@neurovagrant it's the only "days since national security data leaked" counter that comes close to the war thunder forums in my enjoyment of it
>Arthur had a profile on the Strava fitness app that anyone could view, because it was set to "public."
That's not a leak. That's a basic setting. This dipshit needs to be disciplined.
I don't even set mine to public at all anymore for a variety of reasons and I'm just some old guy who has no interaction with top secret stuff. One main thing is it seems certain users are vandalizing what I reveal to them so I locked it down.
Andy Gates@EricBono @neurovagrant He does need to be named in a whole briefing. But yeah, that's user error.
@andygates @EricBono It's user error that exposed an individual's location.
It's institutional neglect that allows that to slip under the signals radar and expose a carrier group.
True & True
Charlotte Bax | Digihobbit@neurovagrant don't blame strava, blame the idiot on the ship using it, or their superior not setting proper security measures
Drew 🇵🇭 ♾️@neurovagrant it has been 0 days since some idiot using Strava leaked national security-sensitive location data.
There, fixed it for you.
@drewtowler Blaming just the user has never fixed anything in the entire history of fixing things.
