Fitness App Leads To Massive Security Breach On French Nuclear Submarines

The fitness app Strava has inadvertently caused a significant security breach involving French nuclear submarines. According to a report by French newspaper Le Monde, the app's global heat map feature, which displays user activity data, revealed the locations and movements of French submariners, including those stationed at sensitive military bases like the Île Longue nuclear submarine base.
