AccuWeather might be spying on iPhone users without their permission. 。
A security researcher recently discovered that the AccuWeather app for iOS was sending location information to a data monetization firm, even when users opt out of location tracking within the app. 。
SEE ALSO:Leaked images might show the iPhone 8's wireless charging setup。The sketchy app behavior was first stumbled on by Will Strafach, a mobile security expert known for iOS hacking. Strafach only works to find vulnerabilities on iOS, so it's unclear if the app is pulling this stunt on Android users as well.。
What's strange about this particular discovery is that every iPhone user has the option to turn off location data for individual apps running the background. But AccuWeather is apparently disregarding this setting in order to send information to an ad firm named Reveal Mobile. 。
Strafach discovered that even though he wasn't running AccuWeather in the foreground, it sent his personal location data to Reveal Mobile 16 times in just 36 hours after closing the app. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
More specifically, the iOS app is wrongfully giving away three things: Your precise GPS coordinates, the name and BSSID of your Wi-Fi router (which helps the firm track your geolocation), and whether your bluetooth is turned on. 。
Strafach voiced his concerns on Twitter and took time to answer a few questions about the situation. 。

Reveal Mobile notes on its own website that this information helps the company understand where customers are at during the day in a way that is vital to knowing the customer.。
"Location data also informs the home and work location of customers," RevealMobile writes. "Pairing this information with existing demographic targeting criteria allows retailers to target consumers with a high propensity to visit based upon two of their most relevant locations." 。 Regardless of the reason, there's no excuse for exploiting a customer's wishes and privacy. So, if you're creeped out and annoyed to find out that AccuWeather is giving away your information without your permission, it might be time to switch to another weather app. 。 Update August 23, 2017 (10:37 a.m. ET): 。Update August 23, 2017 (10:37 a.m. ET): 。

the following joint statement: 。
Reveal has stated that the SDK could be misconstrued, and they assure that no reverse engineering of locations was ever conducted by any information they gathered, nor was that the intent. AccuWeather will work with Reveal to restore the SDK when it has been amended and will continue to update its ULAs to be transparent and current with evolving standards. AccuWeather and Reveal continue to enhance methods for handling data and strive to provide superior, seamless, and secure user experiences. We are grateful to have a supportive community that highlights areas where we can optimize and be more transparent."。
