Color ‘hack’ allows users to spy on anyone from anywhere
- ricefield 16y agoSo, I'm confused about this one. Actually, I read about this somewhere else a few days earlier, and its been bugging me since... Wasn't the big thing about Color that they didn't use GPS to pinpoint you? They had some cool tech (that apparently justified $41M) that located you using bluetooth, audio input, lighting, etc, etc and Bill Nguyen basically flat out said GPS sucks and they don't use it. So... Why does this hack work? Apparently they are still using/collecting GPS data? Anyone have a better idea than I do on this?
