Research has revealed that commercially traded location data from military personnel poses security risks at various military installations in Germany. Politicians from the EU and the USA are calling for restrictions on the trade of this data, which has been linked to vulnerabilities concerning NATO operations and personnel safety. Concerns have been raised about the potential for foreign intelligence agencies to exploit these data for espionage activities. Key political figures, including German politicians and U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, advocate for increased regulation and prohibition of data sales that jeopardize national security.
