Click the link and see for yourself. This is nuts, there are going to be people in a lot of trouble for getting these locations leaked just because they wanted to track their "fitness" through an app that uses GPS. Interesting activity in Antarctica as well. Let me know what else you guys see!
Per Guardian:
"The details were released by Strava in a data visualisation map that shows all the activity tracked by users of its app, which allows people to record their exercise and share it with others.
The map, released in November 2017, shows every single activity ever uploaded to Strava – more than 3 trillion individual GPS data points, according to the company. The app can be used on various devices including smartphones and fitness trackers like Fitbit to see popular running routes in major cities, or spot individuals in more remote areas who have unusual exercise patterns.
However, over the weekend military analysts noticed that the map is also detailed enough that it potentially gives away extremely sensitive information about a subset of Strava users: military personnel on active service."
