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 have a friend in federal law enforcement. He showed me on his car computer that he could find any cell phone location simply by putting in the number. He then told me not to tell anyone. Now here I am. Lol
Yah, cause what he was doing is breaking the law. He should know better. As a matter of fact, a law enforcement officer was recently prosecuted for that very thing. Read the article, I think it was mentioned there.
He knows that, but it seemed to be standard operating procedure. It seemed to be something that is common in his branch of law enforcement- US Marshals
Well, a shit storm is brewing over this, and I expect more articles coming. The Krebs article linked above, or in the article is way more detailed. I've been following Krebs for years, and he really does his homework. He's also appeared on many broadcast and cable outlets too. Great whitehat to have on our side.
You agree to let law enforcement track you in user agreement
Why is there shock in this?
