it's kind of funny how concerned people are about secrecy and data storage when people just pull out their phones and put that stuff out in the open. Reminds me of the military base that was exposed through strava heatmap data a few years ago. One really has to wonder how far OSINT can go.

- colechristensen 5y agoIt is not so unlikely that the person responsible will be going to prison... if this wasn't an intentional leak. People with access to classified information, even just present in places where classified things happen have security clearances and are very well informed about what they can and can't do and the consequences of such. Low grade accidental leaks happen all the time and often result in huge fines to employers or employees. Posting pictures of things though... is an entirely different matter than accidentally sending something to the wrong entity or mislabeling classified information. Though it might not actually be anything particularly secret after all, the fact that somebody was hanging around taking phone pictures attests to this.
- linuxftw 5y agoYeah, but as a certain former head of the FBI will tell you, they probably didn't have intent, so no need to investigate further.
