This revelation highlights the potential dangers of information collected from smartphones and computers, which can be used to track individuals. According to a letter provided to TechCrunch by Senator Ron Wyden, the US Central Command (USCENTCOM) is aware of enemy forces purchasing geolocation data to track service members.
