US Military disables ad trackers over troop safety fears
Original: US Military disables ad trackers amid concerns over troops' safety
The US military has moved to disable advertising trackers on its websites after cybersecurity researchers found that data collected through ad technology could expose the locations and identities of service members. The concern is heightened by tensions with Iran, since trackers embedded in recruitment and military sites could reveal which personnel or potential recruits visit them, potentially allowing hostile actors to build profiles or infer deployments.
Why now: Tensions with Iran have raised fears that ad-tracking data could be used to identify or locate US troops.
