>“We managed to find quite a lot of data on individual people, which would include sensitive information,” Biteniece says. “Like a serviceman having a wife and also being on dating apps.”

I wonder if you could play it the other way like a double agent.

Have a target do those things that you know the opposition is going to look for. Have them jump on a dating app, have them wear a fit bit and visit some sites of interest, and see how quickly someone contacts them / how / what they eventually ask for / offer?

It seems logical to do that already, and to some extent easier to possibly play the double agent role?

Another fun one is the case where FitBit data revealed military base locations and patrol routes

Reminds me of those three Chechen girls who catfished ISIS for $3000 on facebook by promising to be brides if they sent travel money, then blocking them after they did.

What is this "open source data?"

Russians SIGINT/Cyber folks have been using various techniques to locate and identify Ukrainian forces using their personal devices in order to target them with rocket and tube artillery with devastating effect.

Trident Juncture and Tinder comes to mind
