The U.S. National Security Agency issues guidance on how to protect your location while using mobile and IoT devices, social media, and mobile apps. Location data can be extremely valuable and must be protected, the agency says. The guidance is intended primarily for NSS/DoD system users, the NSA says. It says disabling location services on a mobile device does not turn off GPS, and does not significantly reduce the risk of location exposure. The agency also published guidance last month about how to secure IPsec IPsec networks.
