    Tldr: Someone can guess reasonably where you are by sending you a glitched friend request notification on your phone that tells the hacker what data center you’re closest to.

    It is pretty clever but I wouldn’t call it full deanonymizing, should still get patched though.

    good find by the tester.

    Edit: used the term ‘glitch’ for simplicity of people reading, didn’t mean to upset people; I’m just an amateur.
