The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced late last week that it is investigating reports that websites may have enabled the location of mobile phone customers to be tracked.
Reuters reported that the FCC referred news reports that broke earlier in the week to its enforcement bureau for investigation. Robert Xiao, a researcher at Carnegie Mellon, contends that the data from LocationSmart, a California technology firm, could have been used to track mobile customers of AT&T, Verizon Communications, Sprint and T-Mobile. He blamed it on a flaw in the software.
