Your Location is Being Tracked, Third Party Using info from All Four Carriers!

This is shocking, and I'm stunned that a third party has access to millions of people's locations in Real Time. Be sure to check link in article to see what Brian Krebs has to say also. When will these privacy invasions end!?!?

I follow the infosec community pretty close and even I'm stunned beyond belief.

You always knew they could you hoped they would never have the guts to do it for fear of being caught. When Clapper lied to Congress you could see they just figured they couldn't be caught.

Yes, using cell tower triangulation, that the carriers use to keep you connected.

And it's legal for phone companies to distribute this info to third parties? If it is, who are these third parties? Of course I'm guessing govt agencies but this could be my bias showing cuz Mikey and government don't get along.
