Riding On A Modern Railway - You're being tracked by the Hackers
Hackers can track the movements of a thousand passengers on railways around the world, according to the researchers of Nanjing University. Hackers can break the smartphone's with built-in motion device movement.
For example: Environmental Sensors, Position Sensors, Ambient Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer Sensor, Gyroscope Sensor, Barometer Sensor, and can detect all the bumps and duration of a trip between stations.
The ability to track railway riders represents a significant cybersecurity threat to the 10M+ of people who use public transportation every day. In the United States, there are more than 6M+ daily railway passengers in New York City, and over half of those thus exposing themselves to tracking.
Every railway station in the world possesses a unique random number generated, barcode or fingerprint and every time a train runs between two stations, that specific fingerprint can be recorded by the smartphone's accelerometer, possibly providing hackers with access to critical information like which railway stations any specific person has travelled to.
