Hackers recently claimed to have stolen massive amounts of cell phone location data from a broker named Gravy Analytics, exposing vulnerabilities in personal privacy.
The advertising ID assigned to mobile phones, intended to anonymize users, has been shown to be easily deanonymized with location data, revealing personal information.
Government agencies, including the FBI and DEA, have been able to purchase individuals' location data without warrants, raising serious concerns about surveillance.
A sample of the stolen location data, which exceeded 30 million records, was shared by hackers, highlighting serious data security issues with major data brokers.
