Researchers at Northeastern University demonstrated "side channel attacks" that use a smartphone's accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer to track a user's location without GPS permission. These sensors can be accessed by malicious apps, such as a simple flashlight app, to guess where a user lives or works. The researchers note that there is currently no way for users to turn these sensors off.
