>“We managed to find quite a lot of data on individual people, which would include sensitive information,” Biteniece says. “Like a serviceman having a wife and also being on dating apps.”

I wonder if you could play it the other way like a double agent.

Have a target do those things that you know the opposition is going to look for. Have them jump on a dating app, have them wear a fit bit and visit some sites of interest, and see how quickly someone contacts them / how / what they eventually ask for / offer?

It seems logical to do that already, and to some extent easier to possibly play the double agent role?



Occam's razor: No. That serviceman was looking for an affair. That's it. :)
