Location data security issue

Hey folks,

I recently forgot to turn off SafeSky and recorded half way my track back home in my car. I thought that must happen to other people as well, especially when linked to SkyDemon, where I turn off the navigation but completely forget about SafeSky.

And that’s true: Especially in the evening, when most aerodromes are closed, you can see some folks sitting at home and streaming their private location to SafeSky. I think that’s a security issue, especially since you can link the data provided by the (sometimes) public profile to it and also to the airplane itself.

There should be a security feature which turns off the streaming at some point. Probably hard to detect, but I think it’s worth more investigation.

SafeSky is supposed to turn after 10 minutes of no flight activity. Thake a look here:

If this is not happening then there is an issue that needs to be investigated by the SafeSky team.

I think that feature is broken, because that’s definitely a long term streamer from a private address:

and another one:

I could see my trip home after my flight once, a bit embarrassing indeed😳
