Pentagon says US military personnel reportedly being targeted using location data

US forces deployed to war zones have been targeted using commercially available location data, according to reports fielded by military officials, an illustration of how the global surveillance economy is shaping the battlefield. In a letter shared with Reuters by US Senator Ron Wyden — an Oregon Democrat — US Central Command (Centcom) said it had received multiple threat reports concerning adversary exploitation of commercial location data to target or surveil US personnel in theatre. The message, sent on April 14, offered no further specifics, but Centcom’s area of responsibility includes the Gulf, where US forces are facing off against the Iranian military over the Strait of Hormuz.

Wyden said in a statement that it was time to “start treating the adtech industry as a national security threat”. The Pentagon did not return messages seeking comment. The lawmakers said in their letter that their efforts to obtain more information from military officials about the reported targeting had been unsuccessful. Location data trade fuels privacy concerns Location data is widely used in digital advertising, which is a key source of revenue for many tech companies. Such data is typically collected from smartphones and other devices by apps or service providers before being sold to data brokers, who collate and resell it, sometimes via complex networks of intermediaries. Although the threat to privacy inherent in selling the details of people’s day-to-day movements on the open market has long been a matter of public discussion, its potential as a national security risk has recently drawn concern as well.

More recently, journalists at Wired and two German news outlets drew on billions of coordinates collected by a data broker to expose the granular comings and goings of people stationed at or around 11 US military and intelligence sites in Germany. Two groups that represent digital advertisers, the Interactive Advertising Bureau and the Association of National Advertisers, did not return emails seeking comment. The letter from US lawmakers to the Pentagon said that, given what military officials know about the trade in location data, they should have acted faster to protect their personnel, for example, by disabling the unique advertising ID attached to military-issued devices, automatically turning off location sharing on smartphones in the field, and steering staff away from Google’s Chrome web browser toward more privacy-focused alternatives. One of the letter’s cosigners was US Representative Pat Harrigan, a North Carolina Republican who was formerly a US Army Special Forces officer. Harrigan said that browsers like Chrome “are built from the ground up to collect and share user data” and that every day they remain on government-issued devices “is another day we are handing our adversaries a weapon against our own troops.” In a statement, Alphabet’s Google said that Chrome had “industry-leading security”. The company added that it had “long advocated for stronger rules and safeguards against data brokers”.

北 탄도-순항미사일-방사포 섞어쏘기 도발

북한 조선중앙통신은 전날(26일) 김정은 국무위원장이 참관한 가운데 ‘신형 경량급 다용도 미사일 발사체계’와 ‘다연장 전술순항미사일 무기체계’를 시험발사했다고 27일 밝혔다.그러면서 차륜형 다연장 발사대에서 ‘화성-11라’형으로 추정되는 단거리전술탄도미사일과 240mm 방사포탄이 잇달아 발사되는 사진을 공개했다. 1개의 발사대에서 탄도미사일과 방사포의 동시 발사 능력을 과시한 것. 조중통에 따르면 김 위원장은 전날 “중요한 고난도 국방 과학기술이 실천 무기시험에 도입됐다”며 “대적하는 세력이 요행을 떠나 이론적으로 생존 자체가 불가능할 정도로 되는 파괴력을 갖춰야 한다”고 위협했다. 유사시 탄도미사일과 방사포, 순항미사일의 동시 다발적 ‘섞어쏘기’로 한국 방공망을 돌파해 서울 등 수도권을 초토화하겠다고 협박한 것이다.이번 다용도 미사일 발사체계는 우리 군의 ‘천무’ 다연장로켓이나 미군의 하이마스(HIMARS·고속기동 로켓포병시스템)와 유사하다는 평가가 나온다. 단일 발사대에
