A Run a Day Won't Keep the Hacker Away - Inference Attacks in Fitness Tracking Social Networks

Explore the security vulnerabilities in fitness tracking social networks through this Black Hat conference talk. Delve into the risks associated with sharing sports activities publicly on platforms like Strava, where start and finish points can inadvertently reveal sensitive locations. Learn about endpoint privacy zones (EPZs) implemented by these networks and discover how they remain susceptible to inference attacks that significantly compromise user privacy. Understand the methods used to reduce EPZ effectiveness and potentially expose protected locations. Gain insights from security researchers Karel Dhondt and Victor Le Pochat as they present their findings on these critical privacy issues in fitness tracking platforms.
