For y'all who use (we don't), here's a heads-up we rec'd via newsletter.

"Researchers found that... Strava's heatmap feature, which was introduced to 'anonymously aggregate users' outdoor activity (, , etc.) to help identify common trails and hotspots...[and]... provide a 'social' aspect to physical activity, can be 'de-anonymized' to identify people's home addresses... with a 37.5% accuracy rate."

So glad my friends incidentally told me yesterday about this alert drill at 3pm today! Without that knowledge I would have been completely panicked especially as the sound my phone emitted was completley alien! I was home but it must have been so much fun in a public place, carnage 😂!

My favorite thing, someone questioning my hashtag use.

Please, go on.

I can do this all day.

I'll be sure to add something to the end of every post though, to ensure you understand.

Tip of the Day: Some forms of Social Engineering are use of hashtags and learning about your audience.

I installed Instagram yesterday on my phone, after a hiatus of a few months. I checked my feed later that day and had four stories about migraines. I had mentioned my migraine to one friend in a text earlier. Super creepy. Uninstalled the app
