Privacy flaw in Path’s iPhone app

Brian X. Chen:

Jeffrey Paul, a data security consultant, on Friday published a blog post pointing out a security flaw in Path for iPhone users. If a user posts a photo inside Path and writes a caption, the app can still share the city or other general location where the photo was taken — even if a user has turned off location sharing for Path in the iPhone’s privacy settings.

Oopsie.
