Hot Take:

Well, folks, it looks like the iSharing app has been sharing a bit more than car rides and cute pet pics. If you've ever wanted to play a less whimsical version of "Where's Waldo?" with real people's locations, iSharing was your unintentional go-to. Security researcher Eric Daigle, our cyber-sherlock, sniffed out the data leak that could've turned anyone into a very creepy Santa Claus, knowing when you're sleeping, awake, or out grabbing a latte. Remember, just because an app can track your every move, doesn't mean it's only your BFF who's watching.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
