France says it’s taking “appropriate measures” after a naval officer’s use of the Strava sports app inadvertently enabled journalists to geolocate the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in the Mediterranean. Le Monde newspaper said Thursday it traced a naval officer’s March 13 run and then matched the Strava data to a same-day satellite image. The newspaper said the jogger was likely on the carrier or a nearby escort ship. A French military spokesman said Friday that sailors get regular warnings about connected devices and geolocation.
