Hackers have exposed the locations of millions of iPhone users.

Hackers have stolen location data of millions of iPhone users worldwide, reports TechCrunch.

The data breach occurred due to Gravy Analytics, a company that collects geolocation data from smartphones and sells it to advertisers. Earlier this month, the company admitted that its servers had been compromised and that access was gained using a stolen key. However, the incident was only reported weeks later.

Approximately 10 TB of information, including precise location coordinates of users, ended up on hacker platforms. Cybersecurity expert Baptiste Robert confirmed the authenticity of the leak by examining data samples. He was able to identify the residences of individuals near military facilities and municipal institutions, as well as their likely travel routes.

Robert noted that users who disabled the "Tracking" feature in their privacy settings were not affected by the breach. The expert advises against granting location tracking permissions when installing applications, even if it seems like a basic security measure.
