Someone already hacked Apple's Find My network to send arbitrary dataWhat you need to know
Someone has been able to send arbitrary text via the Find My network.
They created a fake AirTag to send the messages.
It isn't thought this could be used maliciously, though.
Find My, the network of iOS and macOS devices that is used by AirTag and others for location tracking, can be used to send arbitrary text to other devices. That's the discovery of one security researcher who published their findings in a new blog post.
Researcher Fabian Bräunlein essentially created a fake AirTag to send text across the Find My network, receiving it on a remote Mac. It's notable that it isn't thought that the process used by Bräunlein is something Apple can easily work to block.
With the recent release of Apple's AirTags, I was curious whether Find My's Offline Finding network could be (ab)used to upload arbitrary data to the Internet, from devices that are not connected to WiFi or mobile internet. The data would be broadcasted via Bluetooth Low Energy and pick...
