Popular Fitness App Strava, Used by Secret Service Agents, May Expose Location of Trump, Biden and Macron in Glaring Security Breach: Le Monde |

The safety of heads of state and other world leaders has been called into question following a recent investigation by the largest French newspaper, Le Monde. The investigation focused on the popular fitness app, Strava, and revealed that the potentially confidential movements of US President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, and other world leaders can easily be tracked online through the app.

According to the Associated Press, Le Monde found that some US Secret Service agents, as well as security staff for French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin, use the Strava fitness app. This poses a significant security risk, as the movements of these leaders and their security personnel can be easily traced and potentially exploited.

One alarming example cited by Le Monde involved tracing the Strava movements of Macron’s bodyguards to determine the French leader’s whereabouts during a private weekend trip to Honfleur in 2021. This trip was not listed on the president’s official agenda, highlighting the potential vulnerability of world leaders to tracking through fitness apps.

The US Secret Service downplayed the danger, stating that agents do not use personal electronic devices while on duty, but off-duty social media usage is not prohibited. However, the revelation that security personnel for some of the world’s most important leaders are using Strava and inadvertently disclosing their movements online is a cause for concern.

In a previous incident in 2023, a USSS agent’s Strava profile revealed the hotel where President Biden would be staying in San Francisco for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This incident underscores the need for heightened security measures and awareness regarding the use of fitness tracking apps among security personnel.

The potential security breaches posed by the trackable movement data on Strava highlight the need for stricter regulations on data usage and retention. As one expert noted, companies are eager to access user data, and it is crucial for governments to take action to protect individuals’ privacy and security.

Overall, the investigation by Le Monde serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with the use of fitness apps by security personnel and the need for heightened vigilance in safeguarding the movements of world leaders. The potential for security breaches through apps like Strava underscores the importance of implementing stringent security protocols to protect the privacy and safety of individuals in positions of power.
