Investigation Reveals Datastream's 3.6 Billion Phone Coordinates Exposing US Military Movements from Nuclear Bases to Brothels
Nov 20, 2024, 04:32 AM
A recent investigation has uncovered that a US data broker, Datastream, has sold over 3.6 billion phone coordinates, revealing the detailed movements of US military and intelligence personnel in Germany. This data includes sensitive locations such as nuclear bases and NSA facilities, as well as personal locations like homes and brothels. Despite the Department of Defense's awareness of this data's existence, it reportedly lacks the authority to prevent its sale. The findings raise significant concerns about privacy and security for military personnel, as the information was collected without warrants or public consent.
