@fs0c131y.com did a nice breakdown of the Gravy Analytics data release. Unfortunately you have to go to the dreaded platform for the deep dive.
Hackers claim to have breached Gravy Analytics, a US location data broker selling to government agencies.
They shared 3 samples on a Russian forum, exposing millions of location points across the US, Russia, and Europe.

Friends, if you are looking for a non-profit for a bit of year-end giving, consider Tip of the Spear @tipofthespear42.bsky.social. They remove mines and explosive devices in civilian areas and farms in Ukraine, train local deminers, and donate equipment so Ukrainians can live there safely.

Horrors of #Assad 's prisons like #Sednaya are real.
Many of the images you will see from #syria are real.
But some like this are fakes.
Exercise caution because sharing them is harmful.
One day they will cited by propagandists seeking to discredit actual evidence of atrocities.
