OFC you can use an #AirTag (or multiples!) to #stalk people, and whilst it's illegal (and I I'll condine it regardless of legality!) it's now even more rampant than pickpockets!...

You know how many of those #stalking devices I've microwaved already when someone asked me to check their stuff for #trackers?

  • I'd say it's a low-to-mid double-digit number, because by the time #police gets their hands on those as evidence, they got remote-wiped and even if they didn't the buyers obviously didn't link them to any #Apple - Account with real credentials...
    • Worst-case they abuse some homeless person as "#MeatProxy" to get blamed and as soon as that one's getting caught, they're already gone...

#Stalking is a Problem and #AirTags are #IoT - style, physical #StalkerWare that's rampant in the wild, as they are not just a #COTS product, but cheap, common and even #TechIlliterate assholes can use them.

  • No need to use shady Stalkerware sites and -Apps like the ones @[email protected] / @maia investigated in her #fuckStalkerware series...
    • Every asshole with enough cash or a credit card can get their hands on these and doesn't even need to know how to #DIY stuff!
Can you stalk someone with an Apple AirTag?

why is my email in the breach if i signed up with a throwaway? well, i (stupidly) used my personal email to contact tracki.

but what i don't understand is why *now*, ~a year and a half since that hack, and also why at all if (from the article) tracki supposedly patched their shit?

but anyway, good news is i found out about a very cool blog. and also #FuckStalkerware 3/3

This is why I find #Stalkerware like all those "#Kids #Smartwatch" devices to be bad, because ALL OF THEM are just applianced Stalkerware and NONE of the vendors properly disclose that this is basically illegal in every juristiction without prior, informed and signed consent of the wearer which unter-16 cannot give at all in places like #Germany (as #BDSG is way harsher than #COPPA)…

  • Cuz there are "#StupidPhones" and non-Kids "#Smartwatches" that can facilitate the "Where are you?" - call which cost less and ain't a legal issue.

Firmu SpyHide zničila až mladá hacktivistka ze Švýcarska maia arson crimew (nejde o tiskovou chybu, tak si skutečně říká), která spustila tažení proti sledovacímu softwaru s výmluvným hashtagem #FuckStalkerware. Hacknutím SpyHide se zmocnila 230 GB dat, která obsahovala nezašifrovanou komunikaci.

Z dat analyzovaných Page 404 vyšlo najevo, že v síti uvízly také stovky Čechů. Zdrojové kódy navíc prozradily, že za službou stojí Íránci.
