Now the bill has come due in a war zone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">A <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/28170008-wyden-led-letter-to-dodcio-adtech-with-attachment\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/28170008-wyden-led-letter-to-dodcio-adtech-with-attachment\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/28170008-wyden-led-letter-to-dodcio-adtech-with-attachment\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">newly disclosed letter<\/a> shows the warnings went unheeded: US Central Command now confirms it has received \u201cmultiple threat reports concerning adversary exploitation of commercial location data to target or surveil US personnel in theater\u201d\u2014the first official acknowledgment that the data-broker economy is being used to hunt American forces in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The targeting was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/media-telecom\/pentagon-says-us-military-personnel-are-reportedly-being-targeted-using-location-2026-05-28\/\" class=\"text link\">first reported by Reuters<\/a>, which obtained the Centcom letter. But the confirmation lands atop a record that is longer and more damning than the single document suggests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">For the better part of a decade, US lawmakers have heard the same alarms about the dangers of commercially available location data that the Pentagon did\u2014from the same intelligence assessments, from witnesses, from their own colleagues. Yet comprehensive privacy legislation has repeatedly stalled in Washington, and the one narrow fix that did pass\u2014a requirement that data shared with military contractors not be resold\u2014left the broader industry untouched.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">One of the earliest warnings came in 2016. At the Joint Special Operations Command compound at Fort Bragg, California, a government technologist briefing senior officers demonstrated how commercial location data\u2014bought, not hacked\u2014could track phones from Fort Bragg and MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, the home stations of America&#8217;s most elite units, through Turkey and into northern Syria, where they clustered at a covert forward operating base. The same data was available to any advertiser or foreign intelligence service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Even as the Pentagon was warned that the location-data marketplace was placing its own people in danger, parts of the department were eager to become its customers. The Defense Intelligence Agency <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/national-security\/535441-intelligence-agency-gathers-us-smartphone-location-data-without\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/national-security\/535441-intelligence-agency-gathers-us-smartphone-location-data-without\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/national-security\/535441-intelligence-agency-gathers-us-smartphone-location-data-without\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">disclosed to Congress in 2021<\/a> that it uses commercially purchased phone location data\u2014including on Americans\u2014without a warrant, taking the position that none is required. Months earlier, Motherboard reported that the US military was buying location data <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/us-military-location-data-xmode-locate-x\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/us-military-location-data-xmode-locate-x\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/us-military-location-data-xmode-locate-x\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">harvested from popular consumer apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In 2023, the Army paid to have the threat spelled out. Researchers at Duke University\u2014working under a grant from the US Military Academy at West Point\u2014<a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/techpolicy.sanford.duke.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sherman-et-al-2023-Data-Brokers-and-the-Sale-of-Data-on-US-Military-Personnel.pdf\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/techpolicy.sanford.duke.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sherman-et-al-2023-Data-Brokers-and-the-Sale-of-Data-on-US-Military-Personnel.pdf&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/techpolicy.sanford.duke.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sherman-et-al-2023-Data-Brokers-and-the-Sale-of-Data-on-US-Military-Personnel.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">set out to buy data on American service members<\/a> the way a foreign adversary might. They scraped hundreds of data broker websites and found thousands of listings advertising data on military personnel, including datasets titled \u201cMilitary Families Mailing List\u201d and \u201cHard Core Military Families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The researchers started buying. For as little as 12 cents a record, with almost no vetting, they purchased names, home addresses, health conditions, and financial details on active-duty troops. Posing as a buyer operating through a Singapore-based domain, they also obtained the same kind of data geofenced to Fort Bragg, Quantico, and other installations. One broker offered to skip its identity check if they paid by wire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">A year later, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/google-dv360-banned-audience-segments-national-security\/\" class=\"text link\">WIRED found<\/a> the same kind of data flowing through Google&#8217;s own advertising platform.
