Le Monde reports that confidential movements of powerful leaders like Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris could be tracked through a fitness app used by their bodyguards.
The article noted that the agents can’t use their personal devices while on duty but of course they can while they are off duty. It mentioned that one of the guards took a jog while off duty, but that jog was from the hotel the President was staying at.
They could set the start/finish area to be masked, they could set their run info as private, they could have just the run stats (but no GPS) shared, etc.
This isn’t a strava issue, just Secret Service Agents being bad about Secrets when doing their Service.
They should definitely know better, especially as a few years ago it was in the news how you could map some US bases by the runs that soldiers were doing

Still the agents mistake.
