NEW: Using a Flipper Zero, a security researcher has demonstrated that anyone can flood nearby iPhones with annoying and persistent pop-ups.

Researchers says this can be used as a "prank," but also effectively as a denial of service.

“It’s not just a minor inconvenience; it can disrupt the seamless experience that Apple users are accustomed to,” he said.

@lorenzofb ...flood pings, but new and improved with User Experence™!

Yet another reason to turn Bluetooth (permanently) off from w/in the Settings.

@lorenzofb bummer the PoC is a firmware re-write instead of an app. Hopefully with the new flipper app framework this can be a toggleable experience.

An excellent way to distract your enemies for long enough to sneak your Jumper past the door they're guarding.

@lorenzofb @nullagent Just normal networks do this enough for me that I long ago turned off the auto-prompt-to-join feature.
