The goTenna Pro ATAK Plugin's default settings are to share Automatic
Position, Location, and Information (PLI) updates every 60 seconds once
the plugin is active and goTenna is connected. Users that are unaware of
their settings and have not activated encryption before a mission may
accidentally broadcast their location unencrypted. It is advised to
verify PLI settings are the desired rate and activate encryption prior
to mission. Update to the latest Plugin to disable this default setting.

Workaround

goTenna recommends that users follow these mitigations: General Mitigations for All Users/Clients * Use Discreet Callsigns and Key Names: Choose callsigns and key names that do not disclose sensitive information, such as your location, team size, or team name. Avoid using any identifiers that could inadvertently reveal your location or the composition of your team. * Secure End-User Devices: Implement strong security measures on all end-user devices, including the use of encryption and ensuring regular software updates. * Follow Key Rotation Best Practices: Regularly rotate encryption keys according to industry best practices to maintain ongoing security. Pro-Specific Mitigations * Share Encryption Keys via QR Code: Utilize QR codes, similar to ATAK, for the secure exchange of encryption keys. * Secure Broadcasting: When broadcasting, ensure you are in a secured area and transmit the key at a reduced power of 0.5 Watts to limit exposure. * Leverage Layered Encryption: Implement layered encryption keys to securely manage communications, whether interacting with individuals or teams.
