very much disagree on this, they track mobile devices through your connection strength to multiple cellular towers while this attack proves which singular datacenter the victim is nearest.
Don’t get me wrong the write up is really interesting but it does feel like the author is a bit of a sensationalist.
Extremely sensationalist. A cell tower might have a range of a few miles, max. This is giving ranges of 250+mi.
They claim to be 15 years old. Cut them some slack.
what have you made lately?
So what are we supposed to do? Dox him, find who his friends are, and use them to backchannel feedback? I think the "sensationalist" critique is direct and actionable - just don't do it.
And I think expecting that all criticism must come from people the target of it knows and trusts is a bit much.
> what have you made lately?
Plenty of stuff. But that's irrelevant. People are free to give feedback regardless of what they've been working on.

So either they lied about their age then in order to join social media and they're some sort of child prodigy... or they're lying now.
