Teen who tracked Elon Musk’s jet turns his attention to Russian oligarchs
- bell-cot 5y ago> Along with Russian billionaires, Sweeney also has started tracking the flight paths of planes and jets owned by the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. > Last week, he launched @PutinJet... Even without Putin, some of the people who young Jack is very publicly tracking have reputations for, ah, playing rough. Hopefully all of them will either use Jack as a decoy (by poisoning Jack's data sources), or stay too distracted to bother targeting him.

That would allow anyone to use FlightRadar24, FlightAware or the myriad of other tracking sites and their API's to track aircraft and would take the focus off the one person tracking them.
