    This document proposes a new privacy threat where a malicious app on a smartphone can use the device's accelerometer to track which metro stations a person gets on and off based on the distinctive movement patterns between stations. The attack is difficult to detect and could reveal sensitive personal information like daily schedules or locations. The authors conduct an experiment showing their method can accurately infer 4-6 stations of a person's metro ride with 70-90% accuracy. They discuss challenges and potential defenses.
