Sweden’s national security service is investigating reports that sensitive data shared by bodyguards on a fitness app, Strava, may have exposed the private locations of powerful figures. The investigation was launched after a Swedish newspaper reported that bodyguards shared their running and cycling routes, inadvertently revealing details of the king and queen’s vacations and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson’s whereabouts. This incident, which included locations of other world leaders, prompted SÄPO to address the risks and implement measures to prevent similar occurrences, emphasizing the importance of adhering to privacy settings within the app.
