Hackers claim to have breached Gravy Analytics , a major location data broker and parent company of Venntel , a firm known for selling smartphone location data to U.S. government agencies.

The compromise is massive, including sensitive location data that tracks precise smartphone movements, customer information and even internal infrastructure.

The breach highlights the serious security flaws in the location data industry.

It is crucial to implement stringent repercussions for these companies when they fail in their duty to safeguard user data.
