I’m pretty sure everyone has known where the bases are for a considerable number of years now
A ship having its location leaked is serious but trying to claim no one knew where Faslane was until this app came along is insulting our intelligence

They aren’t working in Area 51, but rather publicly known about military bases on British soil. The MOD don’t seem too concerned either, based on the quote.
Pretty different from when the French revealed the location of their air craft carrier a few weeks ago, as those exact coordinates generally are considered secret.

If you think this is crazy wait till you hear about google maps 😂
Sounds like a bunch of people are going to have to sit through animated HR videos about sharing data.

Remember Strava leak?

Why is this being treated like news??
It’s been a thing for years; this same topic was all over the news in 2018 just after Strava released their global heatmap and people were finding forward bases in places like Afghanistan on it.
But that said, the data was there was earlier, just a little harder to put together.

Shitting on the UK military is the new thing I see. Suspect we will see a lot more these type of stories.

Most of the military bases in the UK are built on the sites of ancient Roman military bases; none of their locations are news to anyone except the terminally stupid.

This has long been a thing, right back to American soldiers tracked in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Fitness tracking app Strava gives away location of secret US army bases | GPS | The Guardian https://share.google/dJRlLTMNIhyBi0X3e
this was a jk news story about an american base and a fit bit 10 years ago. about time it happens here
The russians have better maps of the uk infrastructure than we do
„Leaked“ in the same way the BT Tower location was a state secret for decades…..
One day people might realise they don’t have to share every single detail of their lives on the internet.
Oh no, they found Aldershot and Colchester. Both bases are very well hidden
