Tile trackers reportedly have a security flaw that can let stalkers track your location
Tile #Tracking #Tags Can Be #Exploited by Tech-Savvy #Stalkers , Researchers Say
A team of researchers found that, by not #encrypting the data broadcast by #Tiletags , users could be #vulnerable to having their #location information exposed to #malicious actors.
