This certainly sounds like a substantial security breach.  However, I also 
wonder if, to a second level, this has been exploited to misdirect.  Could 
somebody have been aware of this, and in REALLY-black sites, they carefully  
protect against such inadvertent disclosures?  Or, perhaps, fake the existence 
of non-existent "sites" that the military wants to pretend to have?  A physical 
honey-pot

An interactive online fitness tracking map published in November of 2017
which compiles a running history of the location and routes of 27 million
fitness-device users has unwittingly revealed the location, staffing,
patrol routes and layout of U.S. and foreign military bases around the
world.
