Cell Phone Hackers Can Track Your Location Without Your Knowledge

http://j.mp/zDEaYo  (Science Daily)

    "Agents from an oppressive regime may no longer require cooperation
     from reluctant service providers to determine if dissidents are at a
     protest location," the researchers wrote in the paper. "Another
     example could be thieves testing if a user's cell phone is absent from
     a specific area and therefore deduce the risk level associated with a
     physical break-in of the victim's residence."
