This caught my attention more for the fact I am surprised something like this took so long to happen...
A data broker that collects location data from thousands of apps, has been compromised. The scope of the data breach is quite something.
Over 12,000 apps, with enough data points to reverse engineer and identify an individual's movements through location, device, and app data. Some of the more high profile apps impacted by this data breach include:
- Candy Crush
- Tinder
- Grindr
- Microsoft Outlook
- My Period Calendar.& Tracker
- MyFitnessPal
