France takes 'appropriate measures' after sailor's jogging app exposes aircraft carrier's location
France says it's taking “appropriate measures” after a naval officer's use of the Strava exercise app inadvertently enabled journalists to geolocate the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle that is in the Mediterranean to help protect French and allied assets and interests during the Iran war. “In the course of their duties, sailors are regularly made aware of the security risks associated with connected devices, notably the use of social media in their private lives and the potential for geolocation through digital applications,” Vernet told The Associated Press on Friday.
