Remember about 3 years ago that a popular fitness tracker - I seem to recall that it was FitBit - was displaying the fitness courses that many deployed soldiers were running on? And I seem to recall that Russian soldiers were showing up on the same apps.
Our youngsters need to learn the old lesson that "Loose Lips Sink Ships".
I can say with certainty that the concerns you raise in this post have not gone unnoticed by the IW community. There have been a lot of work done over the last several years on TTPs and tools to try and find and cut down on unauthorized Personal Electronic Device (PED) usage. I wouldn't say that the problem has been completely cracked; likely, nothing short of a full ban on such devices aboard ship would be truly effective. The Russians did this, but they don't have to deal with the recruiting problems such a policy would inevitably create!
We all know the tracking capabilities, ( or should i say probabilities ) and the danger that it poses, yet we cant seem to muster up the will to avoid using the devices that are the tools by which it's done with..I believe that when enough peoples lives are negatively affected by carrying around these tracking devices, they will no longer be popular.- My Father 1992

How about just turning the damned thing off when you're out and about, or is that just too simple to comprehend?
