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.
The one the aircraft carrier is an idiot. But nothing wrong with base locations their pretty much public knowledge
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.
They are literally listed on Google maps and sognposts
Not the first time, not the last either.
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.
